Documentary screening and discussion
“Information” showcases the threats created by the appalling misuse of modern technology in an ideological fight legitimized by the false dichotomy of freedom vs. security. It shifts the representational power from discourse dominating white men towards the expertise of women and people of colour. It explores the connection between racism and surveillance, from social, political and historical standpoints.
