Building Tools to Dismantle The Master’s House

“THE MASTER’S TOOLS WILL NEVER DISMANTLE THE MASTER’S HOUSE...

And this fact is only threatening to those who still define the master’s house as their only source of support.”

-Audre Lorde

Audre Lorde wrote those words in 1979 addressing a feminist conference at NYU. Almost fifty years later, those same words apply to technologists of today.

if we want to dismantle the systematic extraction of resources, acceleration of climate change and deepening inequality in our world, we must build our own tools.
