Identifierades

Identifierades is a term used in discussions of digital identity and data governance to describe a set of practices, events, or projects centered on the display, organization, or examination of identifiers. Identifiers can include usernames, handles, email addresses, biometric references, cryptographic keys, or other tokens that establish or verify a person’s identity within a system. The concept spans online campaigns, public installations, and scholarly or artistic inquiry into identity data and visibility.

The term is a neologism formed as a blend of identifier and parade; the plural form identifierades is used to refer to multiple instances of the practice.

In practice, identifierades may appear as online events where participants share their public identifiers to prompt discussion about consent, portability, and surveillance. They can also be artistic or educational projects that map or anonymize identifiers to illustrate data flows, governance gaps, or the social meaning of digital presence.

Supporters argue that identifierades raise awareness about how identifiers tie into privacy and autonomy, while critics caution against privacy risks, doxxing, or coercive exposure. Effective implementations emphasize opt-in participation, clear purpose, data minimization, and safeguards for sensitive information.
