WHO: YOU, MICKY, and THEO
WHEN: Today, Friday, May 2nd @ 6-7:30PM. Doors open at 5:45PM
WHERE: Artisan’s Asylum, 96 Holton St, Boston, MA 02135
Micky Metts will share stories of her life of community activism, and organizing around free software and cooperative development, privacy, and nurturing collective ownership. Theodora Skeadas will interview Micky on her four passions – community building, industry organizing, free software liberation, cooperative development, and how they have permeated her life, from living next to billionaires in affluent Connecticut, marching on DC to protest the Vietnam War with Students for a Democratic Society, playing in a punk rock band in Boston, to more recently, co-founding the Agaric Web Technology Collective and participating in May First Movement, discussing the role of autonomous technology providers.
Join for a Fireside Chat as they discuss a pressing challenge of our time: the interplay between technology and individual freedoms.
They will explore critical questions such as:
- Why should I care about free software?
- Why are there no guarantees of privacy and security?
- What does “freedom” mean in the context of software in our society?
- How is our collective freedom linked to the software we choose?
This conversation will bridge past and present efforts to resist surveillance and centralized power, highlighting actionable steps individuals and communities can take to reclaim agency in an increasingly digitized world.
Don’t miss this powerful discussion on reclaiming privacy and freedom in the age of AI!
