FemHack invites you to a whole-day event uniting different generations around technology, art, and feminism. Held in Espace Fibre, this HackFest aims to contribute to the demystification and re-appropriation of technologies including, but not limited to hardware, software, design and the body. We aim to take an intersectional and intergenerational feminist perspectives during this event and learn from peers. There will be hands-on workshops, presentations, performances & craft experiments, among others. The event is experiment, diversity, innovation and errors-friendly. No tech skills required, curiosity is enough!
The timeline is the following:
- 9h30-10h00 -- welcome, registration, coffee
- 10h00 - 13h00 -- discussions, workshops

Please, bring a vegetarian/vegan meal that you could share with the rest of the participants!

Take note that it will be charged 5$ for half day (10$ for a whole day) -- we have to pay the baby-sitters and feed them, too.
