About the Data Fluencies ProjectSince 2022, the Digital Democracies Institute (DDI) at Simon Fraser University (Vancouver, Canada) has led the groundbreaking
Data Fluencies project, backed by the Mellon Foundation and helmed by Professor Wendy Chun. This global collective—comprising
researchers, artists, technologists, and creators—tackles social justice challenges in the data sphere. From resisting predatory
algorithms to developing tools for combating online polarization, discriminatory systems, and disinformation, this project
develops methods to advance data justice and reimagine our digital future.
Data Fluencies in practiceParticipants will learn about data fluencies in practice through an introduction to a unique set of tools and methods
developed by the team. This will be followed by a hands-on workshop where participants will be invited to try out one of the
tools called Mythical Shadow Animals, which was co-created with a group of teenagers from Vancouver, to explore how data shape
their everyday lives.
Registered participants will receive the Zoom link by email.
