Curator Nora O'Murchú opens #TacticsAndPractice 16: "Are You a Software Update?" at Kino Šiškain Ljubljana on 27 February 2024.

How she articulates the nature of the modern software industry and its entanglement with politics is right up my street. I hope to be able to find a way to work with her in future.
