SPUI25 X Queer Geschiedenis Maand 
Activisme en solidariteit in de queergemeenschap in de jaren zeventig en tachtig

De jaren zeventig en tachtig waren roerig en bepalend voor het queer activisme in Nederland. Naast het COC ontstonden talloze andere groepen die opkwamen voor de rechten van queer personen, zowel binnen als buiten bestaande instanties zoals de vakbond, feministische collectieven en politieke partijen. In een tijd van sociale uitsluiting, politieke onzichtbaarheid en later de opkomst van de hiv/aidscrisis ontwikkelde de queergemeenschap een krachtige traditie van activisme en onderlinge solidariteit, waarin zorg, protest en collectieve organisatie hand in hand gingen.

What are the consequences of this far-reaching influence of ‘tech’? How did it become embedded in a broader capitalist logic? Devika Narayan, a leading scholar in the social study of cloud computing, gives a talk and engages in a debate.
