Gabriella M Garcia
Gabriella Garcia is a creative researcher with over a decade of experience of sharing stories about networked subcultures and technologically-enabled intimacy. She is the director of Decoding Stigma, where she works toward prioritizing erotic labor as a necessary ethics question for futurists. She is currently evolving Decoding Stigma into a space that uses speculative fiction and magical realism to gather sex workers together over designing potential futures toward potential real-world solutions. Her expanded practice includes techno-feminist research, community-centered archiving, multimedia performance art, and poetic technology. As a performance artist, Gabriella works to create spaces ruled by vulnerability.
She has presented work at the NYU Institute for Public Knowledge, Parsons Cloud Salon, Harvard Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, Hacking//Hustling, Surveillance Technology Oversight Project, Decriminalized Future's Ladies of the Night School, and Museum of Sex.
