Description of the Comic

Follow Carolina’s journey, a resident of a housing occupation in Brazil,
and discover how technology transforms her life. In this first volume of
the series Other Tech Worlds Are Possible, you will learn about the work
of the Tech Sector of the Homeless Workers’ Movement, which develops
technologies grounded in local communities, in critical, creative, and
empowering ways.

About the Project

Other Tech Worlds Are Possible uses artistic comic-book storytelling to
share the experiences of worker collectives across Latin America who
broaden the meaning of technology while fighting for social justice.
These stories highlight the power of political, social, technological,
and artistic imagination to create alternative narratives about
technology that go beyond Silicon Valley’s ideology. The project is
funded by the University of Toronto through the UTSC Departmental
Research Fund (Department of Arts, Culture and Media) and by a SSHRC
Insight Development Grant, as part of the Worker-Owned Intersectional
Platforms (WOIP)

project. 

The second volume will highlight the work of the Argentine
Federation of Technology Cooperatives (FACTTIC) and will be published at
the end of the year. The project features a script by Natália
Sierpinski, illustrations by Germana Viana, and is produced under the
direction of Rafael Grohmann.

best,
Rafael
