"Hacking Systems" - a workshop by Mithra Nezhad from the Oyoun team

In our effort to transform old colonial ecosystems, we aim to create independent community digital ecosystems based on new ideas. Instead of using regular methods or violence, we're looking for different ways to challenge the unfair power of colonial economies that exploited people's work over time. Our upcoming workshop aims to share ideas and come up with new ones together.

This workshop marks our initiation with Oyoun MediaLab, that offers opportunities to turn concepts into reality by establishing an independent ecosystem through cooperative creation. Oyoun MediaLab is equipped with diverse tools like a digital development station with Cloud Server, IoT setup, laser cutter, CNC machine, 3D printer, and programmable sewing machine. These resources create a platform for exploration and allow the community to reshape their priorities together.

At the same time, our workshop embodies the essence of a typical hacker workshop, inviting everyone to participate, regardless of their familiarity with hacker-space approaches. We want to explore hacking systems, whether reimagining current ones or creating new solutions. During the workshop, we'll use ideation methods, discuss ideas and plans that will guide us in turning concepts into action.

Anyone interested is welcome to join this journey, exploring fair digital systems and the dynamics of a hacker workshop. Together, we'll challenge norms, shift perspectives and see our power of co-ideation for our future.
