Tomorrow, from 14-17 CET, we kick off the Counter Coloniality Seed study group, with the session "is AI in the room with us?"

Varia’s Counter Coloniality Seed organises a Study Group in 2026. We (usually) meet on the last Fridays of the month, from 14 - 16/17h, in Varia.

The Counter Coloniality Seed investigates the manifold ways in which colonisation - as attitude, process, knowledge imposition, organisational model, force and output - is deeply embedded into the technologies we use everyday.

For the first session, we propose to look at literature available on AI and its entanglements with extractive capitalism, colonialism, computation and power. We may take notes together and there will be snacks.

We would love for participants to join as many sessions as they can, in order to get continuity in our discussions and our group dynamic. To join, please send a message to [email protected] with the subject title [Counter Coloniality Seed Study Group] with your access needs and dietary requirements, if any.
