Radical Networks

Created in 2015, Radical Networks offers a stage for non-commercial, grassroots activist, artistic, and experimental work in telecommunications, including the internet and world wide web. Our annual conference serves as a summit for investigators and instigators from all disciplines taking a critical look at the communications systems and networks upon which we depend.

We are a community event which prioritizes and creates space for those whose stories are often left out, particularly people of color, women, the disabled, and LGBT communities.

Radical Networks feature hands-on workshops, talks, an exhibition, live performances, interactive tours and discussion groups, all centered on understanding some facet of networked life. The public is invited to critically engage with the networks they participate in every day, from learning how to directly work with the technologies themselves to online safety and accessibility, internet policy, the untold histories of the internet, and techniques for resistance and creative expression.
