ASchool – Parallelities. Content, Cake, and Cables – a walk-in-retreat

ASchool invites visitors to a walk-in retreat for digesting content, cake, and cables. Collectively assembled materials, expressing curiosity in the crossings of emancipatory feminist, trans(hack)feminist, and cyberfeminist approaches to learning, talking about, and intervening in media and technology today, will be available for visitors.

The 2026 edition of ASchool is conceived by the Weibel Instiute for Digital Cultures.

The 2026 ASchool cohort consists of: Morgane Billuart, Elisabeth Falkensteiner, Oke Fijal, Kristina Pia Hofer, Valerie Messini, @klimentinali Milenova, Brooklyn J. Pakathi, Sophie Publig, Patrícia J. Reis, Mareike Schwarz, Denise Helene Sumi, Sarah Wilhelmy, and Jona Wolf.

This detailed visualitzation traces the intertwined evolution of society and technology since all the way back in 1500. It really puts into perspective the social reverberations that certain discoveries had, and reminds us of the link between technology and power that is greater today than ever.
