WE NEED TO DO THIS NOW
Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley
We are at the forefront of a new technological explosion. Ai has erupted in shifting investment and development. Governments have developed more effective ways of implementing regimes within technology. Censorship takes on a more complex symbotic companionship with our online presence. We are standing at the edge.
Where will you stand in this new world that has arrived?
A performance lecture about finding our place within an ever increasing new implementation of technology into our everyday lives. Audiences will be able to determine through choices the direction the talk goes and what they talk about.
Art + Tech x Cosmos =
The programme brings together artists, creative technologists, curators, writers, and thinkers with contributions extending across several thematic constellations: from spiritual and the mythic, socio-technological infrastructures and (de)colonial logics, to speculative futures. Through these contributions, the programme explores the potential to reshape how we think about human and nonhuman creativity, how we experience the convergence of art and technology, and how their imaginative possibilities can inspire new cultural practices and worlds. Curated by Joasia Krysa, Nuno Crespo, Daniel Ribas and José Alberto Gomes

DANIELLE BRATHWAITE-SHIRLEY Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley (b. 1995, London) lives and works between Berlin and London. Working predominantly in animation, sound, performance and video game development, and with a background in DIY print media and activism, the artist’s practice focuses on intertwining lived experience with fiction to imaginatively retell and archive the stories of Black Trans people. Danielle utilizes interactive technologies to create participatory spaces that challenge traditional narratives and encourage active engagement. Their projects often take the form of immersive video games, where players navigate choices that confront their assumptions and biases, fostering deeper conversations about identity, privilege, and systemic oppression. Through their innovative use of digital media, Danielle not only preserves histories but also envisions inclusive futures where the voices of those that are ignored or erased are central. Their work is both ‘archive and insurgency’, a catalyst for dialogue, inviting audiences to reflect on their roles within broader societal structures. |
