CHANTING & RECORDING by Just For The Record
29 SEP — 22 DEC 2017
A participative working session with the collective Just For The Record, addressing how gender is represented in new media and writing/publishing tools like Wikipedia, and what influence this has on the way history is recorded.

Chanting in its many forms, as protest slogans, as persistant repetition, as storytelling, as songs of ritual and as a tool that bonds several indiviuals into one entity. Recording because oral sources will need to be included in how we write history today, and recordings from our pionneers let us understand history better. Seeing how marginalized groups have long been exempted from written publications, but have spread their stories in other ways, we need to put care into rethinking what we consider credible sources for writing history.

These events will all represent different angles under this topic, and Wikipedia will be used as a case study to varying degrees, from a tool for discussion of existing practices to a way to implement change.
