Ghost

Agency

Women's Rights in the Digital Age

Ghost Agency is an artistic research project aimed at devising strategic technological and organisational frameworks to address women's and human rights in the digital age. Central to this initiative is an investigation of the transformative capacities of non-visible bodies and systems as potentials for social change.

 

Privacy and data governance emerge as pivotal domains within techno-social ecosystems, wielding profound ramifications for the empowerment and protection of vulnerable populations. The initiative of Ghost Agency underscores the necessity of grappling with these complexities, given the risks inherent in contesting prevailing paradigms that restrict civil agencies.

 

Mexico

Our current work is directed towards equipping women residing in local communities across Mexico with strategic ability and literacy to navigate digital and physical spaces securely.

 

In this context, Ghost Agency evolves as an advocacy for the advantages that digital non-visibility may equip women in Mexico, facilitating their agency in navigating and confronting entrenched systemic manifestations of gender-based violence and a culture of impunity.

 

As part of our response, we seek to cultivate an ecosystem through women-to-women education and network consolidation. Doing so, we have initiated a multifaceted methodology to foster sustainable resilience amidst prevailing urgencies.

 

Ghost Agency is currently sustained as a ‘micro institute’ at Art Hub Copenhagen (2023-25), in addition to generous funding from the Nordic Culture Fund (2023-25) and support from the Danish Arts Foundation for the artistic production.

 

Ghost Agency is led by Danish artist, organiser and architect Gro Sarauw and Mexican artist and technologist, Anni Garza Lau.
