MozFest Spaces

Spaces are thematic learning hubs based around a broad topic. Spaces were determined by the 2023 cohort of Wranglers at the Wrangler Retreat in Amsterdam in October.

• Allies in Practice
• Autonomy & Governance
• Education & Access: You're The Product Of Data
• Humans Behind the Machine
• MoZone
• Tech & Biodiversity: Legado 2060
• Utility of Transparency
• Youth Zone

The Space Wranglers leading this key topics are from across our community, made up of staff and community leaders. Without their dedication and creativity MozFest 2023 would be a very different festival so we thank them sincerely.ubmi

We will continue to develop "experiences" which are interwoven between and across our Spaces bringing our participants through the festival narrative. This year's experiences fall under the following themes:

• AI Cosmologies
