The Cátedra de Feminismos 4.0 DEPO-UVigo is organising a series of conversations titled 'Reiniciando el sistema' to collectively reflect on the social, cultural, and political impacts of digital transformation. The two talks will be held on Tuesday and Thursday at the Redeiras building, aiming to analyse the relationship between technology, power, and feminism in a space dedicated to contemplating the digital society.
Organisers emphasise the necessity of fostering critical dialogue at a time when artificial intelligence, platforms, and data systems increasingly influence citizens' daily lives. This initiative seeks to explore the connections between technology, inequalities, and social justice.
The first event will take place on Tuesday at 19:00 in the Redeiras building, focusing on the question of whether a feminist AI is possible. The guest speaker will be Margarita Padilla García, a computer programmer, co-founder of SinDominio, writer, activist, and a leading figure in discussions about technology, free culture, and technological sovereignty.
On Thursday, the same time, the speaker will be Eurídice Cabañes, a philosopher, researcher, and expert in the critical analysis of technology and data, examining their social impacts from a feminist perspective.
This initiative goes beyond the technical analysis of digital tools, aiming to raise questions about who designs technologies, what values they embody, what forms of power they reproduce, and what alternatives can help create fairer and more habitable digital spaces.
The seminar also aims to strengthen collaboration networks among institutions, professionals, researchers, and citizens, promoting shared knowledge about the social, cultural, and political impacts of digital transformation. These talks are open to the university community and interested citizens who wish to contribute to building a digital culture more committed to equality, with free access until the venue reaches capacity.
