📖Statement of Inclusion

We, artists who use technology, stand in solidarity with activists, academics, and fellow artists who challenge white privilege and white supremacy. We acknowledge that bias is inherent in technology and has historically underserved and exploited women, Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC), LGBTQ+ communities especially transgender/queer/non-binary people, people with disabilities, documented and undocumented immigrants, and the working-class. We acknowledge that as a collective our identities are nuanced and intersectional. We are committed to ending systemic racism and bias by contributing anti-discriminatory practices within our fields, rejecting unethical design, choosing decisions that will benefit people over profits, and being transparent and taking responsibility when we mess up. Technology is only as biased as its makers. As makers, we strive to be proactively anti-racist and to create space where vulnerable communities are welcomed and can thrive.
