In this episode Canan and Laura talk to co/rizom co-founders Alina Serban and Nadja Zerunian about the disappearing of the traditional crafts, what does it mean for our society if artisanship dies out, and what tools co/rizom is developing to support traditional artisans. We get to know the master artisans at the heart of this industry, what fantastic skills they possess, and what challenges they face especially during the pandemic. Our discussion is an invitation to reflect together on our relationship with objects, the value we want to give them, and how they impact humankind’s identity. It is also an invitation to step up and take concrete actions to support this industry. Our guests share what you can do to contribute.
Alina Serban has been living in Vienna since 2004 enjoying the multicultural vibes of the urban space, being involved in theatre and performance projects, participating in the cultural scene of the city and getting inspiration for her work in political equality & participation.
She has been working in philanthropy managing programmes at ERSTE Foundation for 8 years focusing on community development, social entrepreneurship and collaboration with Roma communities in Central and Eastern Europe.
Her love for the aesthetic and the inclusive work-philosophy was the connector to the world of crafts and the motivation behind setting up co/rizom association together with Nadja Zerunian and Andrei Georgescu in 2018

I love to tell stories but am afraid of words.
an obsessive of sorts -
composing & assembling / arranging & rearranging
to showcase excellence
of master artisans I met over the years.
their competence of making things
& the ease to materialize thought
demand to be shared.
preserving crafts & keeping traditions alive
might feel obsolete or seem redundant.
an afterthought. a sentimental notion.
but creating objects
is a fundamental part of human condition
& the beginning of it all.

Can tech and culture work together to create meaning and question data? Feat. Aurore Paligot – Episode 9
In this episode, social and data scientist Aurore Paligot shares her fantastic journey of becoming a data scientist after studying literature and getting a Ph.D. in linguistics first. Using examples from her various work, Aurore tells us why is important to bring together various disciplines to inform and give context when creating data, and to create inclusivity. She explains what data is and who creates it, the of role data visualisation, and what the Tada manifesto does for ethical and responsible use of data.
You may also hear us talking about inclusion in sign language, the concept of the magic glove, AI and societal values we embed into AI, and data feminism.
Alongside examples of exciting projects and collaborations Aurore is working on in her free time, as she tries to understand how using social media data can inform us about how citizens live in smart cities; how data helps us understand the ecosystem of a place to build something with it; how we live in the city in times of pandemics and experience the emptiness of the city, and what is the representation of the city from inside.
Aurore Paligot is a linguist turned data specialist whose focus is to deliver meaningful insights and human-centric visualisations. Her research interests currently lie at the intersection between Tech and Social Sciences and part of her free time is spent exploring Digital Humanities. She is also a R-Ladies enthusiast and a keen Tableau developer.
Aurore holds a Ph.D. in linguistics from the University of Namur (Belgium) and a specialisation in Advanced Analytics and Machine Learning from the Ubiqum Code Academy (The Netherlands). She has more than eight years of experience working with qualitative, quantitative and experimental research methods and is currently working as a Data & Analytics Consultant at Positive Thinking Company.
