In this lecture, Ayona Datta will present a feminist toolkit as a pathway to digital justice in the urban margins. This is in a context where despite a digital revolution in the global south, young people living in low-income neighborhoods find themselves unable to benefit from top-down technological solutions – not least because these technologies do not reach them, but also because these technologies are often used by the state to surveil and further disempower them. In their project in New Delhi, Ayona and her research team focussed on the mobile phone as an interface between digital and urban realms, that could help women innovate through WhatsApp messages, selfies, poetry and podcasts to document and articulate their everyday struggles during the COVID crisis. The feminist toolkit that emerged from these interactions is a loose collection of mechanisms, instruments, and guidelines to push back against digital power and authority. The toolkit uses indigenous forms of expression and knowledge, by underlining the affective and resistant potential of data through the anger, joy, freedom and despair to create new forms of decentralised, fragmented and low-tech co-optations from below.
