Workshop Rachel Lowenstein (Mindshare): Fall of the Digital Patriarchy

Predsjednica Programskog odbora: Rachel Lowenstein, Mindshare

The internet failed women and the digital patriarchy influences more than we’re ready to admit. In the early days of the web, there was optimism that technology would hack the codes of patriarchy with cyberfeminists envisioning gender equality could be found online as a seemingly neutral ecosystem. Flash forward to the Platform Age: an era singularly being led by men with no major social media platform being founded by a woman, women and girls being most harmed by web toxicity, and digital misogyny being the spark of what became media’s misinformation culture.

This presentation and workshop will ask how we can rewrite the story of the internet by using Web3 as a tool for gender equality for all genders. What could the fall of the digital patriarchy mean for creativity and education? And what does Joseph Campbell have to do with any of this?
