DRI Reproductive Justice Hackathon [Mar 7 @ 12:30, in person, Dublin]

DRI Reproductive Justice Hackathon

When: March 7th from 12:30-16:00

Where: Dublin City Library and Archive

Join the Digital Repository of Ireland for a collective day of action to expand access to, and knowledge of, the history of reproductive justice efforts in Ireland through updates to the Reproductive Justice topic area on Wikipedia.

This is a half day, in-person event to take place at Dublin City Library and Archive on Saturday, March 7th. Participants should have access to a laptop or connected device on which they are comfortable editing text. We anticipate the following outcomes:

  • Attendees will be presented with a lunchtime talk on reproductive justice by Dr. Alessandra Jungs de Almeida, Research Affiliate at MIT’s Data + Feminism Lab.
  • Participants will receive hands-on-training in editing and developing Wikipedia entries from Wikimedia Ireland.
  • Small groups will collectively develop topics, compile appropriate references and links, and develop a series of topical entries for Ireland. 
  • New content on reproductive justice in Ireland will be added to Wikipedia.

More details and a registration link are available at: https://dri.ie/events/reproductive-justice-hackathon/.

Why this event?

  • This is the first of what will hopefully be a series of events promoting Data Reuse that DRI aims to support via a new initiative called “DRI Labs”. You’ll have to attend the event if you want a teaser of what we hope to accomplish— and learn how to partner with us for future activities!

‘How shall we do this?’ keynote with Alex Martinis Roe [Feb 26, NCAD, 18:00 GMT]

‘How shall we do this?’ keynote with Alex Martinis Roe

26 Feb 2026 / 18:00 / 1 hour 15 mins

Harry Clarke Lecture Theatre, NCAD

Booking required: https://imma.ie/whats-on/symposium-launch-how-shall-we-do-this-alex-martinis-roe

Feminist practices of researching and archiving minor histories, engage with the past to activate and develop their feminist, anti-colonial, anti-fascist and anti-capitalist politics. Alex Martinis Roe, artist, researcher and author of To Become Two: Propositions for Feminist Collective Practice.

Alex Martinis Roe’s practice seeks solidarity between different positions and generations, as a way of participating in the construction of cultures of difference. Making film installations, publications, workshops and dialogic public events, we gain insight into the artist’s use of transdisciplinary methods that combine writerly, performance and filmmaking methods with feminist and decolonial historiography, ethnography, and political organising.

In this lecture, Martinis Roe presents her expansive working methods that include: an ethnographic approach to archives, where communities guide Martinis Roe’s encounters with artefacts; using pedagogical formats to experiment with ways to learn about, tell and disseminate feminist concepts, methods and stories; using video as a collective transmission of embodied knowledge; working with different positionalities towards a plurality of values and narratives. Central to all of these methods is the importance of relationships: a commitment to radical relational processes of co-creating alternative systems of value and meaning. This relational politics starts from difference and creates kinships and alliances that exceed the dominant social order.

This opening address is followed by a drinks reception. This is the first of several events programmed as part a three-day symposium programme, How shall we do this? This leads onto the all-day symposium at IMMA on Friday 27 February 2026, from 10:30am, the programme concludes with a practice-based workshop on Saturday 28 February from 11am at IMMA.
