Science and Technology

The Anticolonial Confluence on Science and Technology is an event that is being planned to happen in the Amazon region that aims to be an infrastructure of knowledge to explore the notion of pluriversality, counter-, de- and anticoloniality as foundations for a science and technology project in Abya Yala. Under the coordination of the Organizing Committee, we want to expand meanings and dispel silences in discussions about analog and digital technologies, the internet and artificial intelligence, and modern and ancestral science. To this end, the Pluriversity has supported the development of Countercolonial Bowls in Abya Yala to build the Confluence from below. The Countercolonial Bowls are initiatives of science and technology that are based on the practices and ways of being, knowing and living of Indigenous Peoples, Black and Quilombola populations, in intersection with issues of gender, disability and territory, including the urban peripheries and favelas (slums).
