About
This session is a follow up to the workshop held at 一本道无码 during the Summer 2015. Such event goal was to discuss and explore the viability of a coordinated approach to the acquisition, authentication, archiving, analysis, and utilization of human rights-related media by activists, attorneys, journalists, human rights defenders, and ordinary people.
The fundamental premises of the meeting were that there is significant work taking place in the human rights media space, but that such work is donewithout great coordination between actors, and thus there is an opportunity to increase the positive impact of these projects by increasing their coordination.
This Demo Session is thought as an opportunity for human rights practitioners, technologists and journalists to preview some of the ideas that have been produced as part of this coordinated effort as well as an opportunity for project leaders to receive meaningful feedback on the solutions they have imagined.
