Join us for a series of online seminars with dr Barbara Dynda (PAN), Stephanie Niu, prof. elena pavan, and dr Aurora Perego (UniTrento, Italy). The series is curated and led by dr Aleksandra Kamińska (University of Warsaw) and Maria Halber.
The way we tell our stories remains crucial to the everlasting pursuit of inclusion and social transformation. Storytelling allows us to imagine otherwise: to reshape collective narratives and to give form to what has been overlooked or silenced. In every act of telling, there lies both an artistic and political gesture – the need to be present and seen.

Drawing from the legacies of publishing and activism, the series invites participants to consider how creative practices can make space for voices excluded from mainstream discourse, and how small-scale, self-organized publishing continues to serve as a ground for care, empowerment, and engagement. Bringing together scholars and creators, the series focuses on both the material and affective dimensions of DIY making and sharing work – how the printed page, the spoken word, and the digital screen each become realms of dialogue and dissent.
Open to all online via Zoom

elena pavan & Aurora Perego will explore how mass and digital media shape collective mobilizations. From fostering connections to enabling surveillance, media play a complex role in collective mobilization, especially for marginalized communities. We will discuss together how mass and digital media have been used by social movements to bring alternative political voices from the “margins” to everywhere, illustrating examples from trans-feminist and queer mobilizing in Europe.
elena pavan is Associate Professor of Sociology at the Department of Sociology and Social Research of the University of Trento (Italy). Her research looks at the nexus between digital media and social movements particularly in the field of feminist and LGBTQIA+ mobilizations. In her work, she combines social movement and gender studies, network analysis and big data approaches to investigate collective participation processes in the hybrid social space.
Aurora Perego is a post-doctoral researcher in Sociology and Social Research at the University of Trento (Italy). Her PhD research investigated the digital solidarity interactions developed by LGBTQIA+ groups in Italy and Spain. Her research interests broadly concern conflicts and alliances between social movement organizations, with particular attention to relations taking place at the intersections of gender and sexuality.
