Visits to the Canòdrom

In the 60s, on land dedicated mainly to growing vegetables, the old Meridiana Dog Track was built. With this, Barcelona had up to four dog tracks in operation.

Popularly called "the poor man's casino", it soon became a meeting point, social relations and popular leisure. The fact that there was a lack of parks and green areas nearby led to its use as a family walk area.We recover the memory of this emblematic building with a new guided tour!

Digital gender-based violence is a manifestation of gender-based violence amplified by technologies: traditional forms such as harassment, control, surveillance, and sexual exhibitionism, as well as newer forms like sextortion, identity theft, or doxing, among others.

There are numerous tools for supra-enterprise project ideation, but do they encompass all dimensions of life? We continue the workshop series «Hack the tool of ideation» to dissect design tools and incorporate invisible dimensions into our projects from a feminist economy perspective.

Music, technology and vindication: these are the ingredients of the celebration on the occasion of Women's Day at the Canòdrom. The days before March 8 we found ourselves in the stands to demand, with music and debates, a greater presence of women and non-binary identities in these spaces where there is still a long way to go to achieve gender parity. And, if we put technology and algorithms in the middle, the musical genre gap appears even larger.

What is an algorithm? How is artificial intelligence being applied in our daily lives? In these women and non-binary only workshop, we tackle the most basic questions to dispel fears and start using this technology that is increasingly becoming part of our everyday reality.

When?

Tuesday 16th January, from 11 am to 12:30 pm.

All of us play (or have played) some video games. But what are they really? How can we define them?

Under this premise, the Catalan Institute of Leisure with its brand IndieDevDay and ArsGames have created this forum to give voice to different sensibilities and perspectives, as well as to discuss the origins of video games, debate their meaning, the changes they have undergone in recent decades, and explore the plurality and diversity of the concept and how this definition affects our society.

Organized by: ArsGames and IndieDevDay
