lowkey: critical coding club is first and foremost a coding club - a series of hangouts for anyone who wants to write computer programs with other people. Whether you're new or experienced, need inspiration, or just want to throw on headphones and hack, you are welcome to join. Expect it to be laid-back and self-organised outside usual hierarchies: study groups, spontaneous pair programming, parallel working/body doubling, or just folks with laptops.

In lowkey we are focused on creating a space for diverse coding practices and building a community outside the usual institutions and sites with temporary contracts. E.g., academic institutions, businesses and entrepreneurship with ethical compromises, or "expert" meetups. Through the lens of critical technical practice, we are also open to address politics and social issues tied to coding, but rather than discussing them in the abstract, we focus on integrating this into our practice of coding.

We recognise the historically inequitable social reality of software and the patriarchal and capitalist structures and behaviours within it. We aim for an inclusive and soft space as a disruptive action to change this history. This event is inspired by community coding events happening all over the globe, and can be considered a friendly fork of Calm Coding by Varia in Rotterdam.

Come work on a project, follow a tutorial, or just code! Need inspiration? Check out our Resources on our website.

We would like to ask everyone who wants to join to read the Social Rules on our website.

lowkey is initiated by ursuppe.
