DECOMPRESS III
“The verb decompress has meaning in everyday language and technology: to relieve pressure to unwind and the process that a data file must undergo to be used for a purpose. Now more than ever, we need places to unplug and disconnect from the systems that exploit our attention, energy, and time. We must decompress to find alternatives; we must be able to breathe and envision.” - Decompress Manifesto, Founder & CEO of Data for Black Lives, Yeshimabeit Milner
It is with great joy that we invite you to the third Decompress Miami event this Saturday, November 4, 2023. We are thrilled to feature artists and performers Ezili Jean, Speaker Music (Defforest Brown), Suzi Analogue, and idealblackgirl (Amanda Williams). Doors open at 7 PM, panel conversation at 8 PM, and performances start at 10 PM. This event will be recorded.
