Safe Security for Artists Cryptoparty
Thurs. May 18, 7-9pm
As part of the Rethinking Feminism series, SOHO20 presents a hands-on workshop for artists, aimed at safeguarding digital devices.
Trump and the new administration have turned the world upside down; it’s a scary time to be an activist and an artist. SOHO20’s Cryptoparty for Artists is here to help. Have questions about surveillance, about safe security for internet-ing, or simply what Signal is? Join Caroline Sinders and Harlo Holmes, and come learn about digital security. Bring any laptops, phones, or tablets that you would like to safeguard, plus something to take notes with!
