What we do

Three interconnected pillars that strengthen and challenge one another, shape the new worlds we are building together. Our research informs what we make, making reveals new avenues of research, and education puts what we learn into practice, out in the wild. Holding all of it together is our community, the force that propels us forward and makes our work possible.
Research
We identify mainstream narratives of AI, challenge those that don’t serve us, and imagine alternatives. Our research is guided by decolonial, intersectional, feminist, and participatory approaches.
These methods help us surface perspectives often overlooked, question who gets to shape AI, and collectively build knowledge with the people most affected by it.
