UWTMC

For Winter 2019 there will be five different sessions, with each topic/workshop being run once at UW and once at Critical Media Lab at Communitech. The content of the sessions will be the same, so you don't need to come to both (but would be welcome to).

Each session should stand alone, so if you can only make 1 or 2, that's totally fine.

If you can make it, and have a laptop, bring it along. A laptop isn't required, but would help for some sessions.

UW sessions run 7-9pm on Tuesdays in E5-6002 on UW main campus. CML sessions run 5-7pm on Tuesdays in the CML space in Communitech at the Tannery, 151 Charles St. W., Kitchener, Ontario.
