This research seminar series, coproduced by Borderlines (Queen Mary University of London) and Institute for Creative Futures (Loughborough University London) explores how artificial intelligence reshapes writing, publishing, and authorship through a critical and decolonial lens.

The series brings together scholars, activists and artists from the Global South and North to interrogate AI’s role in knowledge production, representation and alternative forms of voice and expression. We aim to foster embodied, situated, and collective involvement beyond the screen, creating a global community that resists extractive knowledge models and imagines new possibilities.

Seminar 1 will take place on 2nd Dec 2025 from 5-630PM GMT. Registration here and series info on LinkedIn here.

Session 2 will take place on 10 Feb 2026, time TBC. Future sessions to follow in the first half of 2026.

I am truly excited to be a part of this project and to co-curate, with my colleagues Mayra Ruiz-Castro and Bente Fatema, this series of opportunities to hear from and engage with inspiring individuals and scholarly communities who are advancing the fields of technological knowledge x decolonial thinking through critically exploring the generative contradictions, tensions, and potential ways forward for this intense moment of techno-cultural transition.

Thanks in advance to our speakers, participants, guest artists and host institutions – we are grateful for you!
