Sonic Cyberfeminisms is an ongoing multi-modal interdisciplinary project combining theoretical reflection and creative practice, led by Annie Goh and Marie Thompson and in collaboration with a collective of artists, musicians and writers. It draws upon intersectional feminist praxis and the legacies of cyberfeminism and aims to foreground agendas of social justice in the domains of sound, gender and technology and, in doing so, develop critical cultural work.
