Biometrics & Cartoons: An SYEP Pride Community Event<\/a>
With special guest project Crafting Our Legacy <\/em>by Cam Mbayo<\/a>
<\/strong>Saturday, August 15, 3:00-4:30PM
Brooklyn Heights Public Library, Multipurpose Room
286 Cadman Plaza W, Brooklyn NY 11201<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this 2026 NYC Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) Career Exploration Event, a panel of justice-impacted LGBTQ+ folks and justice-impacted women will present their work from DuKode’s Biometrics & Cartoons Workshop Series, in which biometric devices and data were used to create new animations and art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this event prioritizes LGBTQ+ youth interested in creative technology, we welcome all community members interested in how biometrically-driven algorithms, artificial intelligence, and surveillance affect creators of color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
