Please Try This at Home is a co-created conference space to explore and nerd out about the intersections of radical bodily autonomy and biotechnology. We'll be talking about the ethics and politics of biohacking, self-modification, DIY medicine, autonomous health care, decolonizing biotechnology, and more. The event is 100% free and open to the public with discussions, presentations, and interaction from all participants. Our audience includes mutants, cyborgs, biohackers, artists, grinders, afrofuturists, xenofeminists, reproductive justice advocates, solarpunks, herbalists, bodyworkers, anarchotranshumanists, and YOU -- all coming together to connect and collaborate in an environment with strong anti-oppressive and liberation-focused values. You don’t have to be an “expert” to join in; this space is for anybody who has a body and cares about its relationship to technology. Please Try This at Home is free to attend but not free to put on. We've tried to DIY as much as possible but we're also dedicated to reducing access barriers and compensating folks who otherwise wouldn't be able to participate due to historical and systemic barriers. We believe that emerging technologies contain immense liberatory potential, but only if everyone affected by them has a place in the conversation. We're asking for contributions from anyone who wants to see the world of biohacking infused with a wide range of experiences and perspectives. All funding for the event comes directly from the community, so we're counting on you to help us make it possible. The money you donate will go to cover the following expenses:
