Presentation Description

Gina Goico will speak to community building in (physical) isolation and how this can anchor folks who feel either trapped, alone, and not-represented, as well as transcending the limiting belief that the haptic can only happen IRL. Goico will interrogate the limits and possibilities of touch in the zoomverse, contemplating and moving through how BIPOC+QT2S folks must sell their data and safety for survival. Goico will ask: how are these connections made and facilitated?

Gina Goico will be speaking at Visionary Organizing on Social Media: The Limits and Possibilities of Touch, Tenderness and Timelessness on May 20, 2021, from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM PDT.
