Technological sovereignty in the Global South and technopolitical struggles in India and Brazil

Silicon Valley is not the only way to make technology. But the West acts as if it were.

Every algorithm, every data infrastructure, every AI model embodies different worldviews and civilisational projects. But the Western narrative insists that its own is the only possible one, the only rational one, the only modern one.

We will hold a dialogue between geopolitians, technologists and technopolitical activists from China, Brazil and India to build a historical-geopolitical map of technological sovereignty and ask ourselves questions. What other visions of technological development exist? What alternative systems are being built? What materiality, what geography, what values do they carry?

We want to talk about other possible technological futures, the collectives who are building them, and why we are not listening to them.

Register open soon.
