<nettime> DISRUPTIVE FRIDAYS: live every Friday at 5pm Berlin time

[Tatiana Bazzichelli <tbazz@disruptiv.biz>]

Dear Nettimers,

this Friday April 3, Disruption Network Lab is launching a new programme
stream!

DISRUPTIVE FRIDAYS, live every Friday at 5pm Berlin time. The first
conversation will involve Marc Garrett (Furtherfield), Cassie Thornton
(Feminist Economics Department), Ela Kagel (Supermarkt Berlin) and
Tatiana Bazzichelli (Disruption Network Lab).

We will share ideas for creative solutions and resistance to the
isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. What are our strategies to
keep working with art and culture when our contexts of sharing are so
limited? What can we learn from this situation to generate new forms
of collective care?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

When we named our organisation "Disruption Network Lab" we would
never have imagined that disruption would turn out the way we are
experiencing it. In the course of the past years we have invited
people that disrupt and challenge closed systems from within. In a
moment in which we are all experiencing a deep closure, Disruptive
Fridays becomes an opportunity to foster even more critical thinking.
During these conversations we will address topics related to art,
hacktivism, whistleblowing, social justice and collective care in
times of Corona.

Follow us live on Friday April 3rd at 5pm on our website
(www.disruptionlab.org), Twitter (@disruptberlin) or Facebook.
