This workshop will convene scholars, practitioners, artists, and activists to reflect, critique, and imagine the manifold ways that digital, physical, and social infrastructures are built, broken, reconstructed, and mythologized. We seek to gather written, visual, and sonic stories that encourage participants to think of themselves “more as activists affecting change in the field than as documentarians of the problems” (Edwards, Cooper, Hogan 2024). We are particularly interested in work — whether ongoing, in progress, or completed — that does one or more of the following:

Centers the lived experience of people and places vis-a-vis digital, physical, and social infrastructure.
Provides theoretical, ethnographic, or creative perspectives that allow for alternative storytelling.
Addresses infrastructural shifts, intrusions, expansions, destruction, or construction in collaborative, creative, community-based ways. 
Centers the stories that infrastructures tell and conceal.
Emphasizes stories from the majority world, rooted in Indigeneity, and/or emerging from communities that hold multiple marginalities.
