Announcing Wayfinding
We're super excited to announce Wayfinding, a new event series at 1RG that we’ve been working on with Jenny Zhang and Jen Dodd, and we hope you’ll join us at the first event on January 28th.
We live in a moment where our trust in tech companies to protect our privacy and our freedom is at its lowest. Large swathes of the tech industry are shifting into an openly authoritarian politic.
At the same time, we live in a moment where our individual capacity to collaborate with technology has been amplified more than ever before.
How do we engage with this potential while living in accordance with the responsibility we have to the world and each other?
Wayfinding is a series of conversations about finding our way through this landscape together, both individually and collectively. This series will place signs and markers to help you orient yourself in the digital world with intentionality. Wayfinding is not about having the answers but about asking the right questions together.
The series
Join us every second Wednesday at 1RG, starting January 28th. Each evening will start with a feature conversation followed by a discussion with the audience.
