Toolkits

What are technology and new media, and how have Black, Indigenous, and disabled communities worked together to shape the way we think about them? This first toolkit introduces some of the foundational ideas you’ll need to start answering that question.

This toolkit invites you to explore how disability-led innovation has shaped new media, technology, mutual aid, accessible design, and futures where access and solidarity benefit all communities.

Technology can cause harm, but it’s also a tool for survival and community-based innovation. This toolkit draws on harm reduction principles developed by queer/trans, Black, Indigenous, and disabled people to explore how we can reduce harm in technology and use it to build stronger, more connected communities.

Culture is shaped not only by what we create and share, but by how we build and use technology itself. This toolkit explores cultural stewardship within new media and tech, drawing on Black, Indigenous, and disabled leadership to think critically about responsibility, knowledge, and the futures we design.
