On the road with Sacred Stacks
Today we'll be doing two Twitter Spaces events on our beautiful new zine, Sacred Stacks: The Art of Cyborg Community.
- 10 a.m. Mountain Time: Metalabel—featuring members of the Sacred Stacks cohort
- 2 p.m. Mountain Time: Filecoin Foundation for the Decentralized Web—featuring MEDLab director Nathan Schneider
Seven communities came together to explore together the needs, ethics, and challenges of emerging decentralized technologies. What began as an errant search for practical tools became an exploration of ritual, relationship, and poetics in a fully illustrated, 80-page zine.
The zine is free in print and pixels, and you can buy a limited-edition collectible NFT with our partners at Metalabel—proceeds go back to the communities we worked with. For one more week only, get your print and digital copies here:

Live event: Brandi Collins-Dexter and Joan Donovan on "Meme Wars"
This event features two Harvard-based scholar-activsts who take seriously media that others would prefer to ignore, from the utterances of Kanye West to online havens of White nationalism. Together, they will guide an exploration of how the tactics and ideas circulating in some of culture's most dangerous spaces could be shaping the political possibilities of the future.
Come in person at CU Boulder, at Hale Science 270 on April 12 at 5 p.m. Details here.
This event is made possible by a gift from the Moon Song Fund.

Nikita Menon speaks with Siddharth Menon, a founder of various startups including Tegro, WazirX, and Crowdfire. He shares his experiences as a serial entrepreneur and highlights how blockchain can shape the future of diverse industries around the world, from art to gaming.
