Join me on a journey to deconstruct the narratives shaping the imagination of the British Somali diaspora, decolonise our perspectives by exploring personal and cultural artefacts at @culturehouseorg, and crafting new narratives for more just and culturally rooted AI futures.
If you are of Somali heritage, used AI in some capacity (this includes chatGPT!), and willing to stretch your imagination, you are welcome to join!
All sessions are free, and meals provided at the in person ones. You can sign up for 1 or more workshops below:
1. Decoding AI Narratives - 28th May (online)
2. Crafting New Imaginaries 1 - 4th June (Culture House)
3. Crafting New Imaginaries 2 - 11th June (Culture House)

18 / 19 / 20 June · Grey Space in the Middle, The Hague
For three days, Cyan Bae (@chaeyuenbae), Francesco Ragazzi (@francesco.ragazzi) and Ruben van de Ven open up five years of the ERC-funded Security Vision project — the films, installations and data work that came out of asking: what does it mean to live under algorithmic eyes, and how do we look back?
🗺️ On view:
▪︎ Two collective interactive data visualisations mapping the global field of security vision: 837 deployments, 2,181 institutions, 131 countries. A first attempt to make the infrastructure of algorithmic surveillance visible at a glance.
▪︎ Welcome to Set by Cyan Bae (premiered at IFFR 2026, Tënk Opening Scenes Award at Visions du Réel). What happens on the sets where AI emotion-recognition systems are trained? Cyan reenacts the strange, playful labour of generating "ground truth" for machines designed to read our faces + Work-in-progress excerpts from Cyan's two upcoming shorts in the deception-detection trilogy.
▪︎ A preview of "An Algorithm of Violence", Francesco Ragazzi's essay film following a software engineer building a violence-detection algorithm. What does it mean, ethically and aesthetically, to teach a machine to recognise a punch?
▪︎ "Perplexity" by Ruben van de Ven (previously at NEXT LEVEL, Dortmund). A camera, a computer and a laser projector predict your path across the room and trace it at your feet. Walk normally, and you become legible. Walk strangely, and you become suspicious. The algorithm's error becomes a measure of suspicion.
📅 Programme
🥂 Wed 18 — opening night
🎙️ Thu 19 — public programme with policy makers, artists, researchers and activists
🖼️ Fri 20 — exhibition day
Free entry. Come look at the machines that are looking at you.

Living Room Lectures presents a guest talk by Serena Dokuaa Oduro, AI policy expert and poet, exploring how Black feminist thought can reshape the way we understand and build technology. Drawing from her work in governance and poetry, Serena reframes AI not as neutral innovation, but as something deeply shaped by political and social forces, and asks what it could become if rooted in different values.
Lecture + discussion, with time to mingle before and after. Register at the link in bio!".

"A core part of this course involves students training models on their own faces and bodies, and that's rooted in two issues I think are deeply connected.
The first is data sovereignty. Our bodies and behaviors are constantly being collected, used to regulate, target, and surveil us by platforms and authorities alike. We're told our data isn't ours the moment we share it, and then a distorted, flattened version of ourselves gets fed back through the same systems that profit from keeping us hooked on that reflection.
The second is creative agency. These tools are being developed irresponsibly, most people don't understand how they work, and so whatever gets made with them tends to feel like it belongs to the machine rather than the person. That passivity is just another form of the same dispossession.
Training on your own data is a small but meaningful act of resistance to both dynamics. You're taking the logic of these systems and redirecting it through your own intentions, your own body, your own aesthetic and critical framework. It won't fix the structural problems, but it builds the kind of hands-on, embodied understanding that I think artists and thoughtful practitioners urgently need to bring into this space right now."

Taught by Jess Tucker (they/she), an American and Dutch artist currently based in Berlin. Their performances and installations combine video, electronic music, prints, sculptures, and digital interactivity to playfully examine how machinic mediation shapes our experiences of embodiment, selfhood, and desire. Their work has been featured in international exhibitions and performance programs, including Rewire Festival, FOAM Museum of Photography, Goethe Institut, Sónar+D, the Van Gogh Museum, Mana Contemporary, and the International Museum of Surgical Science.".

Once seen as our adversary, AI has rapidly transformed
into our most intimate advisor. It operates as part junior colleague, part best friend, part demi-god, to whom we offer our souls on a digital altar. We used to pray; now, we turn to Chatgpt.
But, entering this digital confession box comes at a cost. Our disclosure is served with a side of cookies, and even polite interactions with AI tools come with a hidden price, both financially and environmentally.
What will become of us mere mortals as we surrender ourselves to the code?
In this brave new world, what's left for humanity? And when the robots come… will they remember our chats?
