To close out the Tech in Transition series we will host a panel discussion with Wakanyi Hoffman, Angel Matilla, Dennise ‘Kuku’ Dueñas & Nicole Civita exploring the spiritual and environmental impacts of technology.
This will be an open ended, lightly facilitated discussion exploring how ancestral wisdom, earth-based practices, collective awareness and collective action can help guide us through this transition.

About the Speakers
Wakanyi Hoffman - is a public speaker, author and Indigenous knowledge educator specializing in Ubuntu philosophy. She is a PhD researcher at Utrecht University’s Inclusive AI Lab, exploring the integration of Ubuntu ethics in sustainable AI design and intercultural inclusivity in emerging innovations.
Angel Matilla - Since 2017, Angel (he/him) has lived in the Arterra Bizimodu community and worked with GEN Europe’s Office Team as IT Manager, strengthening the network’s digital sovereignty through self-hosted free and open-source software (FOSS). With a background in telecommunications engineering and over 10 years’ experience in software development and team management, he became deeply interested in the limits of growth and unsustainable social practices in 2011. Since then, he’s explored regenerative, self-sufficient, and communal ways of living as responses to the polycrisis.
Dennise ‘Kuku’ Dueñas - Representative of Transition Colombia and Abya Yala in Transition. Kuku is a graphic communicator and interdisciplinary artist with experience in regenerative communications, collaborative network facilitation, participatory leadership, and intercultural environmental education through the living arts. She is the founder of Casa Maíz, an intercultural community space that promotes Mhysca ancestral wisdom and creative approaches to ecological and educational transition.
Nicole Civita - Nicole Civita is trying to make a home at the crossroads of devotion and discernment. She’s a little bit obsessed with peering into the cracks and sharing what she sees – in all its brutality and beauty. An integrative lawyer turned educator, writer, and weaver of wor(l)ds, Nicole is the founder of otherWise – tending to its relational integrity, collaborative discernment, and rhythms amid the rumbling. Part of this relational integrity includes having an organizational dedication to implementing and promoting ethical technologies.
