Through analogue meme-making, we will collectively explore, map, and challenge the assumptions embedded in conversation-based AI systems like health bots, assistants like Copilot, Meta AI, and many others we encounter daily.

Drawing on the work of Jamaican writer and philosopher Sylvia Wynter, these weaving stories sessions focus on her concept of the plot as a historical material space, a narrative technology, and a practice of being human. Session 2 features invited guest collaborator Daniel Loick, and explores one of the central mechanisms through which this genre of the human is reproduced: property. What might a city without property look like? What would it mean to rethink, rather than reform, housing? How would relations between people, labour, and land change if rent and the appropriation of housing were abolished?

We will reflect on the gap between accessibility as a lived and negotiated praxis, and the ways it is commonly institutionalised. We will explore the moments where accessibility goes beyond checklists and protocols: when it becomes unstable and inconvenient, when different access needs rub against one another, or when a space requires ongoing collective attunement. Drawing on Lauren Berlant and Aimi Hamraie’s work, participants will think through how these frictions and forms of inconvenience make visible how we are organised around norms, temporalities, and expectations.
