Workshop + Exhibition + Panel Talk

Coinciding with World Press Freedom Day, and in line with UNESCO’s Internet Universality concept, this workshop was conceived to inspire visual artists and creative communication professionals in southeast Asia and share their views on Internet freedom and human rights in a region where the concepts are increasingly being challenged.

Over a period of 3 days, 10 participants from diverse professional backgrounds and 8 students worked together to collectively reflect on a number of local situations and social transformations pertaining to the rights, levels of accessibility and openness, as well as the degree of participation toward shaping a more equal, safe and fair Internet space in the global era.

This first workshop edition highlighted the concerns and aspirations of creative professionals as well as their unique perspectives on sensitive issues related to communication and information in southeast Asia.

An exhibition of the creative works will take place at the end of September 2018, during the International Day for Universal Access to Information.
