In 2025, the DGI is launching open-source technology projects with support from our partners in St Vincent and the Grenadines. These initiatives will focus on the future of the food industry, fermented food production, spirulina-growing and DIY-3D-printing. 

These projects will be interlinked with an anti-colonial Museum of Care that we are developing in St Vincent, organizing it around a collection called the Survival Kit. The collection will show that all of society’s survival needs may be fulfilled by open-source technology. Houses may be built and filled with objects with the aid of 3D printing, with food and medicine potentially being produced and improved on an open-source basis, with the aid of free textbooks.

Each visitor of the Museum of Care will be able to take some of the exhibited physical objects home with them. The open-source technologies projects are driven by the same idea of fair distribution of knowledge and actual means of production — be that tools to build a 3D-printer or spirulina strains. 

Together with the prison facilities of St Vincent and the Grenadines, we are launching the first edition of this project in 2025. We will take part in arranging and facilitating several series of lectures and workshops for inmates on the topics of open-source technology, which will mostly focus on spirulina and 3D-printing. 

You can read more about our projects in the presentations: Food and 3D-printing. We invite everyone interested in foodtech and technology in general to get involved. If you work with social projects for incarcerated people or with former inmates and would like to bring this project to your country, we are happy to hear from you!
