Autonets Performance and Workshop at HTMlles 10 in Montreal!
Posted on November 12, 2012 by michamaya
I’ll be performing Wednesday in Montreal at HTMlles in collaboration with Life After Life and the 2110 Center for Gender Advocacy at Concordia. Join us!
PERFORMANCE
Open process
co-hosted by PIXEL LIBRE
November 14, 20h
Eastern Bloc, 7240, Clark (metro de Castelnau)
Regular Price $10, Reduced Price $5 
Nancy Mauro-Flude (AU), Micha Cárdenas (US), Jim Bell (CA), Anne Goldenberg (CA)
The theme of “Open Process” unites four artists, local and international, who will share their creative processes, which is both risky and full of possibilities – “by sharing our creative process with others, we demystify the technology and create a larger community to help each other, and to innovate.
////
Come to my workshops tomorrow in Montreal to be in the performance! The first part of this workshop will focus on using theater of the oppressed, dance and performance techniques to think differently about different kinds of violence we face in our communities and how we can respond collectively, using technology or not. We’ll develop together a performance to present at HTMlles. So the participants in the workshop will be asked to join me in the performance, but of course it won’t be required. I’m hoping to get at least 10 people to join the performance though.
Also, the second part of the workshop will be “pay what you can” and focus on an introduction to wearable electronics using conductive thread and fabric to develop handmade sensors such as pressure sensors and flex sensors.

Free !
Workshop Part I – Local Autonomy Networks (Autonets) is a line of mesh networked electronic clothing with the goal of building autonomous local networks that don’t rely on corporate infrastructure to function, inspired by community-based, anti-racist, prison abolitionist responses to gendered violence. Autonets seeks to respond to the daily risk of violence that continues to increase as capital becomes less stable.
The Autonets workshop engages participants in a discussion, using Theatre of the Oppressed and performance exercises, of how we can form local networks of autonomy and solidarity in order to create community-based responses to violences which are personal, gendered or state sponsored.
Co-presented by Life After Life, a working group of QPIRG McGill and QPIRG Concordia and an action group of the 2110 Centre for Gender Advocacy.

GRATUIT!
Atelier Partie I – Local Autonomy Networks (Autonets) est une ligne de vêtements électroniques en réseau maillé dont le but est de former des réseaux autonomes locaux qui ne dépendent pas des infrastructures commerciales pour fonctionner et qui sont en complémentarité avec les stratégies communautaires contre le racisme et le complexe carcéral. Autonets vise à combattre le risque quotidien de la violence qui ne fait qu’augmenter à mesure que le capital devient de plus en plus instable.
L’atelier sur les Autonets convie les participant-e-s à une discussion sur les manières de créer des réseaux locaux autonomes de solidarité. Utilisant des exercices de performance et le Théâtre de l’opprimé, cet atelier vise à construire des stratégies issues de la communauté pour faire face aux formes de violence personnelle, basée sur le genre et étatique.
