I’m a Palestinian refugee researcher born and raised in Lebanon. I’m researching surveillance in academia and anti-colonial knowledge production for my PHD. My work focuses on surveillance, tech fascism and AI geopolitics.
My playlist offers a gathering of words, ideas, and images—fragments that have lit the way in moments of absolute apocalypse. When the world splits open, when it feels like there’s no ground left to stand on, these have been reminders that the only way is forward.
Palestine is a thread that pulls us together, no matter where we are, because it encompasses everything and summarizes our everyday struggle. Palestine means resistance, it means life refusing to be snuffed out. It means a determination to dream, to hold on, to fight for a better world for all.

¡Hola! Te saludo desde una identidad en constante mutación. Soy planta pero no arraigo fácilmente. Soy mujer por decisión, pero siento que eso podría cambiar en algún momento. Investigo pero no para llegar a las profundidades de las cosas sino para poder comunicarlas. Me interesan las tecnologías digitales, pero me interesan más las infraestructuras y los cuerpos que las sostienen. Me gusta comer, mucho más cuando la comida ha sido preparada con amor. Ocasionalmente facilito talleres de seguridad y cuidados digitales, y también me dedico a leer y conversar sobre tecnología, feminismo, libertad y vida colectiva. Me gusta hacer cosas con las manos, pero lo que más me gusta es hacerlas con otrxs.
Traigo para compartir algunos textos e imágenes sobre eso que llaman Inteligencia Artificial, pero como no quiero discutir si en realidad es inteligente o artificial, hablaremos simplemente de IA. Empecemos ★
Aloha I am an intersectional feminist from Morocco, a modern day nomad and world citizen having lived in six different countries so far. Founder of the feminist youth-led movement and blog Politics4Her to break stereotypes, encourage women to grow more informed, and become active participants in civil society. A strong advocate for human rights particularly in topics related to migration and gender. Currently pursuing a master’s degree in Refugee Protection and Forced Migration. Passionate about digital communications, positive use of social media, youth & women empowerment.I am a vegan, ukulele addict, yogi, ocean lover, surfer & skater, adventure seeker, dream chaser, rainbow lover, and my biggest dream would be to sit on a cloud and be able to eat at the same time.
Hello hello! I’m Chithira, coming to you all the way from the shores of Kerala, a small state in India that lies where the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean all meet. I’m a queer feminist, and I live several lives as a journalist, a researcher, and an editor. I have been been a community organiser for feminist rights and environmental justice for more than a decade, and I’m also a theatre practitioner who teaches ‘Theatre of the Oppressed’ techniques as a tool for addressing oppression and dealing with trauma.
I love driving around on my 21-year-old scooter to explore spaces like my city, and the forests and lakes that hem it. My dogs enjoy taking me for walks, and the cats, mongooses, crows and snakes in my neighbourhood seem to delight in letting me feed them.
I write poems when my heart permits, and have recently acquired a set of watercolour paints that I am looking forward to trying.

In Swahili we say “Karibuni” to welcome people! So karibuni to my playlist!!! My name is DJ Viv from Kenya. I enjoy the stillness of nature, the love and solidarity of the feminist community that I’ve found across regions , Dido’s music…(Highly recommend) and can occasionally be found providing legal opinions on things. I have created this playlist for you all, with all my love and picked resources from different parts of Africa that I identify with in a way, that I have learnt from and that have fueled my feminist spirit to keep organizing. I hope we can talk about them, and I hope they inspire something in you too. Feel free in this space and WELCOME!!

Hello! I'm an illustrator, graphic recorder and book designer from South Asia. I use art to participate in and contribute to social justice movements. I primarily work with organisations at the intersections of women's and LGBTQIA+ rights, digital rights, sexual and reproductive justice and environmental justice among other areas. I'm currently dreaming and drawing about mental health, fat liberation, queerness and community care. When I'm not at my desk, you'll likely find me on a lounge chair with my book and a heating pad. I'm known to have at least 25 tabs open at any given point of time. Some of my favourite things to eat are pizza, cheese, paneer butter masala and everything bread.
