[spectre] Whistleblowing During COVID-19 - Disruptive Fridays #7 - May 15

[Tatiana Bazzichelli]

Dear all,

Disruptive Fridays #7 - Whistleblowing During COVID-19 focuses on the
role of whistleblowers during COVID-19 and discusses the importance of
exposing the truth during the pandemic.

Starting Friday May 15, 5pm CEST
On streaming: https://www.disruptionlab.org/fridays

With: Renata Avila (Executive Director of Ciudadanía Inteligente, GTM),
Joseph Farrell (WikiLeaks Ambassador, UK), Annegret Falter (Chair of the
Whistleblower Netzwerk e.V., DE), Rima Sghaier (Outreach & Research
Fellow, Hermes Center for Transparency and Digital Human Rights,
TUN/IT), Tatiana Bazzichelli (Founder & Director, Disruption Network
Lab, e. V., IT/DE).

Some weeks ago a coalition of public authorities and institutions have
signed a letter to protect those who report or expose the harms, abuses
and wrongdoing that arise during the COVID-19 crisis.

"The COVID-19 pandemic brings into stark relief the importance of
accountability and the need for regular and reliable information from
our public institutions and our leaders. The people of every affected
country need to know the truth about the spread of the disease both
locally and internationally in order to respond effectively and help
protect their communities. Fairness, transparency and cooperation are
vital and never more so than during a pandemic."
https://whistleblower.org/sign-on-letter/sign-on-coalition-to-make-whistleblowing-safe-during-covid-19-and-beyond/

The role of whistleblowers is crucial in times of crisis to expose
wrongdoing and misconducts in private and public institutions, health
systems, working environments, commercial and delivery markets, and to
denounce abuses of personal privacy, both on the digital sphere and the
everyday life. The work of whistleblowers is central to denounce power
violations and to protect the most vulnerable sectors of our society,
but also whistleblowers are people at risk. They are subjects of
repression and opposition before and after blowing the whistle, and
often confined in isolation, imprisoned or persecuted while their civil
rights are suspended.

In a moment in which governments are entitle to use extraordinary powers
without proper public oversight and transparency, we need to protect
whistleblowers and discuss forms of collective participation to
guarantee global safety and accountability, as well as to defend the
human rights and freedoms of all people.

Read more here about whistleblowers around the world that got silenced
or suffered persecution during COVID-19.

[spectre] New podcast: choreographer and performer Alma Söderberg talks about her work with movement and sound

[Radio Web MACBA]

*New podcast  with
Alma Sörderberg*

In this podcast, choreographer and performer Alma Söderberg
tells us about the
many musical influences that inspire her choreographic practice: jazz,
flamenco, hip hop, and experimental and Afro-American music. She also talks
about multiplicity, reduced listening and deep listening, about letting
rhythm run through you, about the voice, sharing, idiorhythms, Anni Albers,
weaving, learning to wait, and about playing.

Link: https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia-311-alma-soderberg

Alma Söderberg is a choreographer and performer who works with music and
dance. As well as exploring close listening, Alma listens to rhythm and
movement, in order to inhabit polyrythm and "simultaneous difference", to
quote Eric Davis by way of Alma. In her solos and choreographic
projects, which are developed in close collaboration with the sound artist
Hendrik Willekens, her voice and body "play" the space as though it were an
instrument.  Her unadorned synchronies of voice, rhythm, and movement blur
and merge sight and sound in minimal, repetitive, precise movements. Sound
and movement are perceived as one and the same. Voice, language, and text
dissolve in melody and rhythm. Background and foreground disappear.

[spectre] "All Women Crew", a new Leonardo/Olats series of podcasts

[Annick2]

Dear Spectrites,

Teaming up with the FEMeeting initiated by Marta de Menezes 
and Dalila Honorato in Portugal in 2018, Leonardo/Olats 
proposed to have an "All Women Crew" for its 2020 Space Art 
Science Workshop to "celebrate women in art, astronautics 
and astronomy".


Doing things remotely is something known in the field of 
space activities: from driving robots on Mars to landing 
probes on a comet to scanning the deep sky with telescopes.


When it became obvious that our workshop would not take 
place this year, we decided that we would put together a 
remotely built collective contribution.


Today, I am happy to bring to you this series of podcasts 
that I hope you will enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed 
producing them.


*All Women Crew Podcasts*

http://www.olats.org/space/sasc21/2020/podcasts.php

For the "All Women Crew" 2020 workshop, we have created, 
like last year, a deck of cards. Each participant has been 
asked to answer the same first question "what has attracted 
you to space" and then two other questions picked up by chance.


0 - What has attracted you to space

1 - Body or Mind

2 -Bio or Zoe

3 - Operational Language or Aesthetic Language

4 - Weightlessness or Gravity

5 - Which woman would you put in the "Hall of Fame" in 
astronomy or astronautics ?


6 - We are in 2121, if we were to have a workshop on space 
art science and culture, what would you like to be talking 
about


7 - Ask your own question and answer it

All Women Crew website

Enjoy!

Best
