We are in a constant battle, with big tech and ourselves, to make prosocial use of modern technology. We find ourselves pulled in unproductive, counter liberatory directions by the computational world. At the same time, if we abandon this technology, we seed the power to communicate and publish that it grants us.

In this workshop we will explore the theoretical origin of that strain, learn why the very nature of the computer makes victory inevitable and seek to empower ourselves to truly control our technologies.

The formal education system affects us all. Not only are we forced to attend schools growing up, but academic research shapes our governments, our news, and how we view the world around us. As much as many of us want to believe in the promise of institutional education, the sad fact is that our schools and universities are undemocratic and elitist. They perpetuate inequalities instead of giving people the tools to fight them. This world is fucked.

Here at Radical Sunday School, though, we know that another world is possible. Everyone should be able to direct their own learning, to grow together with their communities, and to live as though they’re already free. There are countless examples of movements already putting these ideas into practice. This collective is trying to follow in their footsteps, organizing to explore new ways of learning based on principles of autonomy, mutual aid, and egalitarianism.

This is not intended to be a course that you would have to follow all the way through. Jump in and out whenever you like. Sessions will be held every Sunday at Joe's Garage.

Doors open at 17.30, we start sharp at 18.00!
