An Artsformation podcast from the series Resistance: Decolonising the Internet.

How can we hold space in a decolonial artist residency? Decolonising is a difficult, long process.

The digital transformation poses a unique challenge to those who want to deconstruct systemic injustice. ⁠Artsformation⁠ brought together artists and practitioners to a residency in Lesvos to imagine creative ways to engage with the topic of decolonising the digital transformation. Building trust was a prerequisite: in our second podcast in the series Resistance: decolonising the internet, we meet residency facilitators Clare Sivier and Tian Glasgow, in conversation with Ségolène Pruvot and Seema Syeda (⁠European Alternatives⁠), to discuss how they held space in the residency.
