LivecoderA Community Report
by Alicia Champlin, Joana Chicau, Miki Corfiel, Shelly Knotts, Mynah Marie, Iris Saladino, and Anna Xambó

LivecoderA Community Report will be presented at the International Conference on Live Coding (ICLC) in Utrecht, Netherlands on Friday, April 21st, 2023 at 11:15 am (CEST (UTC+2)).


Abstract
In March of 2022, LivecoderA, a new live coding community came into being, coalescing around the need to recognize a specific cohort of live coders who identify as women. The group is inherently feminist and intersectional, and its creation was motivated by many desires. Among them: solidarity and visibility, to be counted as sisters, and to reflect to each other the strength of our numbers. A manifesto and several events have since been produced, and the community is active online while also making more in-person connections whenever possible through the coordination of gigs, residencies and meetups. At the time of publishing, the community connects through Telegram and Discord, with channels consisting of 48 and 27 members respectively.
