Pedagogy of Hope continues with a series of encounters bringing together leading voices in contemporary thought and independent research realities, strengthening its role as a space for dialogue and experimentation.
Sunday, May 17, 10:00 AM–1:00 PM
Gruppo Ippolita
Digital Bodies, Post-Human Relationships
Workshop for adults
GAMeC
In collaboration with Festival ORLANDO
For the new appointment in the Public Program of Pedagogy of Hope, GAMeC presents a workshop led by Ippolita, an independent and interdisciplinary research collective that, since 2004, has been studying digital technologies and their social and political impact, combining approaches linked to hacking, counterculture, and feminism.
On the occasion of the workshop Digital Bodies, Post-Human Relationships at GAMeC, the group will begin with an analysis of digital platforms—tools designed to shape choices, desires, and emotional needs, to which we often unconsciously delegate memory, attention, and relationships. Ippolita’s approach is based on hacker pedagogy, which promotes a critical attitude toward technology and understands knowledge as a common good.
A digital self-defense pathway will be proposed to address contexts in which emotional and sexual relationships are shaped by technological dynamics. Together with participants, we will try to identify the mechanisms that influence us, in order to imagine relationships based on reciprocity rather than exploitation.
The workshop is conceived as a space for listening and non-judgment, open to all subjectivities, with particular attention to identities often marginalized in public discourse.
Participation is free; limited places available

UPCOMING EVENTS
In June the Swiss collective microsillons will bring to Bergamo Communes évidences: a workshop rooted in a long research process dedicated to the work of Paulo Freire. The program, presented for the opening of the activities at Palazzo della Ragione, will invite reflection on the most urgent forms of knowledge, tools, and practices to adopt in order to rethink the world in common, involving participants in experimenting with different pedagogies—ecopedagogies, pedagogies of the commons, degrowth pedagogies, creolized, queer, and postcolonial pedagogies—capable of making oppression visible, supporting the struggles of others, as well as strengthening alliances and other forms of solidarity.
