Fembot Jam Session 1: An Unconference on Feminist Multimodal Publishing and Collaboration

 

Slightly over a year after Fembot launched its first feature, Laundry Day, members of the collective will meet in Portland, Oregon, for a two-day Unconference to discuss Fembot’s past, present, and future. Goals for this event include:

 

  • To think collectively and critically about the features Fembot has experimented with over the past year
  • To think about the Fembot Project holistically and in light of its more-or-less organic unfolding over the past eighteen months
  • To collaboratively assess the site’s design and functionality, as well as its aesthetics, particularly in relation to our sister project, FemTechNet
  • To establish goals for the coming year, including discussion of a Fembot ThatCamp.

The Unconference is free and open to all members of the Fembot collective.
