Data ART:ivism - Crafting Online Citizenship

Sydney Jones Library, Liverpool

4th November 2019

Our Data ART:ivism - Crafting Online Citizenship workshop will provide participants with an interactive and hands-on arts and crafts session, where their understanding of data will be explored. The aim of the session is to examine online citizenship and data understanding and to critically examine how people’s data is shared and used on social media. During the 2h session, workshop participants will have a chance to (1) study social media’s ‘Terms and Conditions’ s; (2) reflect on their social media data and online sharing practices, and create their data artivism pieces (using available arts and crafts material such as strings of different colours, recycled toys, pre-printed social media symbols etc.).
