Radical Data

• collective

  We are a collective of mathematicians, technologists, dancers and designers who believe that data, used with care, can move us towards a world that is autonomous, just and joyful.

• studio

  We create data analyses and digital tools that are infused with queerness and decoloniality.

• research

  We research how data is and can be used. For two years, we've been adding the best of what we've found to our archive.

• education

  We want to see activists, instead of fearing technology, use it as a tool shape the world. To do this, we regularly run workshops and create videos for social media.
