Information Lives in DIY Culture call for Facilitators

Information Lives in DIY Culture is a day-long event about the relationship between DIY cultures (grassroots and political cultures and practices) and information, archives, libraries and heritage.

The event will be informal and different to more traditional academic conferences. Anyone is welcome to attend, including people involved in DIY cultures (for instance musicians, zine makers, organisers), people who work or volunteer in information organisations (libraries, archives, museums and more!) and people doing research (in universities or any other spaces!). This event aims to bring together people in each of these spaces so that we can learn from each other, share skills and knowledge, and make connections that help sustain our endeavours in the future.

At the minute, we are looking for people who would like to take part in the day by delivering or facilitating an activity. Find out more here: new-event-information-lives-in-diy-culture-15th-november-2025

Payments of £150 will be available for 10 speakers/facilitators who are not funded to attend by their workplace, or who are in precarious employment.

You can submit your idea for us to consider via this form: Call for activities – Information Lives in DIY Culture

Deadline: 25th September
