Empower, Bridge and Connect #ArabHCI researchers and practitioners. Organizing series of events in the #SIGCHI conferences along with local and regional events.
Nice workshop to discover the endless possibilities of combining art, architecture, and technology to create a truly unique virtual experience in a #metaverse platform that showcases traditional #Saudi_Arabian garments.

A quite interesting question addressing multi-lingual publication for @acm_chi. @nehakumar thinks this needs more support since translations are doable and available. This is also already happening to some degree.
Volker Wulf adding that also many well eduacated scholars in the #GlobalSouth got their degree in the #GlobalNorth and sometimes change their mindset to that of the #GlobalNorth.
A question about how we need to change the institution to be more open for collaborations from the #globalNorth? Volker critisicing the funding bodies which need to be changed to also fund partners outside of Germany. @acm_chi@ArabHCI
"What are the lessons learnt so far in engaging North-South collaborations within our SIGCHI communities?"
Volker Wulf reflecting upon working with a Palestinian human rights activist and making sense of social media for on the ground activism.
