What will happen in your session?

We will tell a story using tarot cards as cues to re-write a queer history of self-care and tech in the light of recent developments such as the Quantified Self movement. Participants will be accompanied into a geodesic dome to delve further into the story by engaging in mini-workshops : drawing as self-care, using tarot as a tool of self-discovery, etc.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

• educate participants on the possibilities of drawing as a tool for mediation, communication and self-appreciation
• prompt discussions on the relationship between tech work, the body, the self and others

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.

We will just need room for the dome (which will be 3 meters wide)
