This talk explores how digital technologies can be re-imagined in the shape of peoples and communities worldwide on the margins of political and social power. It considers these questions in terms of how political movements are formed and sustained, how heritage and identity are preserved and how technologies may shape labor and the environment. I share insights from my work that range from South America, the Middle East, and South Asia
