Local Contexts Summit

Community representatives will share about use of the Labels in their community context as well as the potential of the Labels to change relationships and to assert authority and sovereignty. Institutions working with the Notices will discuss changing workflows and developing new partnerships with communities. Important implementation examples will be highlighted for the techies among us. The Summit will be structured as a series of panels, presentations, and collaborative audience discussions. 

The Summit will take place at the Center for Art, Research and Alliances (CARA) in Lenapehoking (New York City), and be streamed online.
