FHM are a series of rese­arch meetings and works­hops that are initi­a­ted by Varia (https://vvvvv­va­ria.org/) in Rotter­dam. They explore the poten­ti­a­li­ties and imagi­na­ries of femi­nist tech­no­lo­gi­cal collec­ti­ves. These gathe­rings aim to challenge who counts as a hacker, and what counts as hacking. The diverse acti­vi­ties of these gathe­rings inclu­des soci­o­po­li­ti­cal discus­si­ons around tech­no­logy and femi­nism, story­te­lling, prototy­ping and skill-sharing, as well as art expe­ri­ments. The sessi­ons are open for anyone inter­es­ted in tech­no­logy and the proces­ses of shaping it, to discuss and work toget­her.
