This workshop certainly fits the 'innovative approaches' criteria - loving this creative approach via #KillYourPhone to exploring cybersecurity and cannot wait to see the results - hopefully I will get some pics to share!

Today I'm Stitching at the End of the World
We are sewing phone pouches using EMS fabric and discussing cybersecurity, personal privacy, surveillance, and the future of 'smart textiles'. Lydia Donohue is hosting this workshop. Inspired by the art project #KillYourPhone, funded by Methods North West.
