Afterschool Academy

Afterschool Academy in Marion, AR, is a DIY community practice space that explores queer methodologies and feminist decolonial approaches to create diverse datasets, machine learning models, publications, and art with AI. The initiative is led by Sarah Ciston and Emily Martinez, focusing on innovative research encompassing themes such as queerness, Cuban identity, migration, and cultural experiences in contemporary society.

Current research initiatives include a project titled "Care Work," which involves the manual editing of an Audre Lorde dataset, alongside ongoing experiments that engage with the implications of living on a dying planet. This creative space emphasizes collaborative exploration and the use of non-normative practices to challenge and redefine traditional narratives and methodologies in the realm of generative AI.
