Taking the exhibition Data Relations as a point of departure, Data Relations Summer School comprises a series of experimental workshops, discussions, performances and talks at ACCA and other venues, with an emphasis on pedagogy and the sharing of ideas. Presenters and participants will come together to respond to critical and creative approaches to questions regarding data relations.

Join us for a public talk with Ausma Bernot on China's queer social sorting methods that include both automated decision-making and the use of human labour in enforcing queer “othering”.
The symposium seeks to move beyond research and discussion about the neat categorisations found within sex (and gender) research by exploring how digital sexual cultures can be sites of hope, complexity, and contestation.
