Festival Tracks

Mozilla Festival unfolds across eight tracks, each a focused space where Wilding takes root. Through a decentralized process, each of these tracks is co-designed by community Co-Curators from across regions and disciplines.

Wilding asks us to re-imagine the foundations of a better tech future. Together, we will prove community-led technology is possible.

Wilding Advocacy

This track explores the limits of traditional advocacy in holding technology systems accountable as power concentrates and resists change.

It encourages intergenerational learning and highlights practical solutions for how we can normalize, resource, and upscale alternative, disruptive, and open tools for resilience and resistance, particularly in hypersurveilled environments.

Wilding Knowledge

This track explores how communities are actively developing alternative technologies shaped by their own contexts, needs, and intergenerational lived experiences.

It highlights localized, accessible approaches that challenge one-size-fits-all tech models.

Wilding Systems

This track brings together systematic conversations on open source, governance models, platform accountability, and the environmental impact of digital infrastructure.

The track looks at how we can move away from centres of control, and towards more accountable alternatives.

Wilding With Nature

This track explores what it means to reimagine technology as deeply connected to the natural world, focusing on regeneration, energy, and our relationship to land and environment.

It challenges extractive models of growth by asking how we can build and resource technologies that work with and in favor of natural systems.

Youth Wilding

This track is a space for young people (ages 13–17) to explore, build, and shape the internet and technology through hands-on, creative sessions.

It is for beginner-friendly, skill-building workshops alongside youth-led sessions, games, and discussions where young people design and facilitate their own ideas.

Wilding Creativity

This track invites artists across mediums to interpret and challenge AI, data, and digital power, making complex issues more accessible, sensory and felt.

We welcome submissions from artists and collectives proposing interactive installations, film, and multi-media art that sparks dialogue, fosters co-creation, and embodies a more human, regenerative technological future.

Founders Wilding

This track explores how startups can help “wild” the internet by building alternatives to centralized, extractive platforms through trustworthy AI, privacy-first technologies, and healthier online ecosystems.

This space highlights early-stage companies actively developing responsible technologies and the conditions they need to grow and endure.

Developers Wilding

Open source AI is growing in the wild, outside the managed gardens of the hyperscalers and the vendor-locked enterprise stacks.

The Developer Track is for founders, principal engineers, safety leads, standards folks, all coming together to figure out together whether what's growing becomes durable, or gets paved over.

Submit your session ideas now

We're inviting you to submit a proposal for a talk, discussion, lab, booth, or art that shows how your work exemplifies the theme of 'Wilding' – to restore balance, and cultivate infrastructures rooted in care, mutuality, and collective action.

We're looking for proposals that celebrate community-led alternatives. Proposals that are proof of what is possible. If your idea makes people question, build, explore, or connect in ways that feel genuinely alive, we want to see it.

Closes May 24th, 2026
