DH@Guelph is thrilled to welcome TIKA <https://withlovetika.com/> as our keynote
speaker for the 2026 Summer Workshops!
Rest as Resistance in Distressing Times:
Embodied Digital Humanities for Collective Liberation
Abstract:
In an era defined by constant connectivity, crisis fatigue, and
emotional overload, rest has become both a personal necessity and a political
act. This keynote explores rest as a form of “emotional technology” — a set of
practices that support regulation, creativity, and collective resilience.
Drawing from film scoring, community facilitation, and healing-centered
pedagogy, TIKA examines how rest, creativity, and digital culture intersect. She
invites participants to consider how creative practice can move beyond
productivity and performance toward sustainability, nervous-system literacy, and
collective care. This talk offers a framework for understanding rest not as
disengagement, but as a tool for imagination, resistance, and future-building
within digital humanities and beyond.
TIKA’s keynote will take place the first evening of the workshops. All are
welcome to attend this free talk. Register for the keynote
