'''Join us for the organisation of the next THF! 2015 in Puebla (Mexico)'''


To wrap up, THF! is about:


* [[Servidor feminista/Feminist Server]]
* Enhancing our personal and collective lives, as it allows us to push the boundaries to further (re)think certain (basic) assumptions.
* [[TransHackFeminist/Que significa?/What it means?]]
* Opening up possibilities to experiment and understand life as a performance and a permanent process of performativity.
* Collectively producing knowledge: without making a differentiation between theory and practice.
* Embracing, protecting and advancing libre/free culture.
* Creating communities where people meet, exchange, experiment and share knowledge.
* Setting up boundaries by positioning one's self vis-a-vis other feminist discourses and narratives. It is a re-politicisation of feminism. 
* Anti-capitalism through alliances and solidarity thanks to Do-it-yourself (DYI)/Do-it-with-others (DIWO)/Do-it-together (DIT), self-management and autonomy practices.

The content presented and produced during the THF! broadly fits into three main themes: Embodied Theory, Performative Tactics and Liberating Technologies.
Please introduce yourself briefly to the administrators in order to be subscribed to the list and let's move ahead with the organization of this self-managed and radical TransHackFeminist event.  
In the following section you will find a copy of rough notes taken by participants during the encounter. Those notes have not been clean up, however we believe they bring useful information and many interesting links for the people interested in going more in deep in relation to certain topics.

=== Embodied Theory ===
[[File:THF MX.medium.png]]
 
This stream of the program refers to the activities where content and theories were embodied by the participants.  Embodied theories are theories that are lived and experienced. They emerge from the ground up; from activists’ particular experiences and/or positionality. Embodied standpoint theories aim at reconfiguring theories by limiting and reducing the existence of binaries, particularly the distinction between researchers and activists, and theory and practice. For the THF! embodied theories was about the extent to which activists can be living embodiments of a chosen theoretical or hermeneutical path. It was about trying to find answers to the following questions: How does embodied knowledge shape us in terms of social interaction, perception, subjectivities, etc? What do embodied theories do to us? Does embodied theory come to be through practices and/or the belief in a theoretical framework? The following presentations and discussions explored those questions:
 
* [[Hacking Gender Construction]]
* [[Que es genitalismo?/What Is Genitalism?]]
* [[Anarchagland]]
* [[Hacking Acadamia]]
* [[Los tullidxs están buenos, son transmaricabolleros y follan/ Crips are hot, queer and they fuck]]
* [[Cyborg Romanticism]]
* [[Hacking the baybe]]
 
=== Performative Tactics ===
 
This stream of the program refers to the tactics that are being used by the participants to circumvent political, economic, social and/or cultural barriers through performances. Performative tactics are actions, practices and/or projects that activists undertake to raise consciousness, bring political issues to the fore, prefigure the world they want to live in, and reframe or disrupt dominant narratives in creative ways. These tactics are performative in the sense of committing an action and possessing agency. The performative tactics undertaken at THF! took shape through the following presentations, lived projects and/or discussions:
 
* [[The Fellatio Modification Project]]
* [[Satellite Fishing/Pescando satélites]]
* [[Public Key Signing Ceremony]]
* [[Tacticas Feministas en la red/Feminist Tactis in the Net]]
* [[HerStory]]
* [[Bibliotecas publicas digitales/Book Scan]]
* [[Experimental Fanzinoteka/ Experimental fanzinotheque]]
* [[Taller de teatro de la emancipación / Theatre of the Emancipation Workshop]]
* [[Cafes de la muerte/Death Cafes]]
* [[UpStage, plataforma de codigo abierto para cyberperformaces/Upstage, open source platform for cyberperformance]]
* [[TransHackfeminist Cabaret]]
* [[Pornotrash]] (specific performance during the cabaret)
 
=== Liberating Technologies ===
 
Liberating Technologies. This stream of the program explored a variety of technologies that can be considered to be liberating. Liberating technologies are rooted in libre/free culture and its participants aim to embrace, protect and advance it. We consider corporate social media corporations (a.k.a. data empires) such as Google (we do believe Google particularly to be evil, despite it's moto: « don’t be evil! ») as having dire consequences on our private and collective lives. The profiles that are created about us when we use corporate social media platforms and search engines, record every bit of data we produce for economic, political, social and/or mass surveillance purposes. Corporations now act as mediators of our communications and in turn manipulate how we understand the world around us. Liberation technologies for us mean taking back the control of the internet, infrastructure, algorithms, inscribing new values in code, among others. Many of the activities organized under this category aimed at enhancing skills through hands-on workshops and presentations. They included:
 
 
 
* [[GYNEpunk: Autonomous ginecologyLAB]] + [[Del EM, sistema de extracción menstrual / Menstrual extraction systemy]]
* [[Primero Auxilios en Caso aborto y Derrame / First Aid in case of abortion]]
 
* [[Seguridad digital/Digital Security]]
 
* [[Cómo jugar en tu ordenador y no cargarte el sistema / How to play in your computer without knocking off the system]]
* [[R_R/R Radio Ramona and Ruelles]]
 
 
* [[Taller de Recreación feminista, hackeando vídeos de internet / Feminist Recreation Workshop, hacking videos from the Internet]]
 
 
 
* [[Armas de Destrucción de Misa: diseño en Gimp y HotGlue / Mass Destruction Weapons: Gimp and HotGlue Workshop]]
 
* [[Open Street Map Mapping Party]]
 
 
 
 
 
Screening of Documentaries: During the THF! a few documentaries were shown including: Ruins VIH witch Hunt, Mi sexualidad es una creacion artistica (My sexuality is an artistic creation), Dreceres, a film about the Integral Catalan Cooperative that presents Calafou.
