Voice of Conduct

In response to issues of social exclusion, harassment, hate speech, stalking or threats, F/LOSS groups, hackerspaces, and feminist hacker communities have broadly adopted Codes of Conduct. Such documents are useful for setting up rules and accountability, while they help communities to formulate common values around their projects. Several networks embrace a language of openness, suggesting to "be excellent to each other", while others maintain explicit boundaries for their safe spaces, making clear which behaviours are not allowed.

The project Voice of Conduct is a collection of vocal exercises that explore the frustrations, emotions and tensions behind Codes of Conduct. It aims at interacting with written rules, explore what do these rules express, and what happens when they are read and performed with human voices, turning them into dialogues and scripts.
