Gaps in data and the decolonising of the historical record, queer data, data and memory, data performativity, and data ecologies are all under scrutiny. Can data deliver an alternative optics? Can data optics enable ways of seeing that are generative for new praxes and forms of recognition? This half-day symposium aims to think more about what narratives and events are recorded or created by the accumulation and manipulation of data, and to consider if and how data might facilitate responses to crises, when all else fails.
