Civic Data Solidarity aims to build a protocol to make civic data interoperable across civil society projects and tools. Artist Burak Arikan will present his white paper on Civic Data Solidarity and is joined by two case study collaborators: Sinduja Rangarajan, data reporter for “Reveal” at The Center for Investigative Reporting on diversity in Silicon Valley, and Jin Zhu, artist and member of the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project on environmental racism on Treasure Island. Together they will explore how new networks can be created to contribute to solidarity among civil society organizations.
This talk is part of the symposium Hacking Politics. Organized by the UC Berkeley Center for New Media, SFMOMA’s Public Knowledge Initiative, the UC Berkeley School of Journalism, and Boalt School of Law, Hacking Politics explores how our political system has been — and might be — “hacked” in ways its creators could never have imagined. This symposium takes place on Friday, October 19. Check out the full symposium schedule.
