Vikalp Varta 2.4: Decentralising Digital Futures, India / Online, Vikalp Sangam is a platform to share the best stories of viable alternatives to India's unequal and ecologically destructive development paradigm. Vikalp Varta is a series that initiates dialogue on alternatives with organisations, communities, and individuals who work towards alternative pathways of well-being, health, economy, society. Working with rural communities in Karnataka, India, Decentralising Digital is an ongoing research project seeking to co-create new narratives for decentralised digital futures. They are exploring how developments in emerging technologies might be harnessed to meaningfully support and can be built along with rural communities in India. And how the work can be adapted and used by other communities and stakeholders, in their own work in reimagining different, more sustainable futures with and for communities. They will share thoughts and stories from their 2-year research project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZ6v-14191w. 2021
