Palestine, Digital Rights and Copyright

Palestinians are facing mounting digital censorship from all angles. This limits their freedom of expression online.

Join us for a meetup, where we will be experimenting with abolitionist approaches to intellectual property, to put your production on the line, in an act of solidarity with Palestine. In this convo, we seek to understand the impact of copyright laws on our work as knowledge producers, and the ways online structures oppress and are complicit with the Occupation of Palestine. We recommend reading this beforehand:

• Seizing Knowledge Production in Solidarity With Palestine

• Abolitionist creativity - How intellectual property can hack digital power

Invited Guest: Julia Choucair Vizoso is an independent knowledge producer and former managing editor of The Public Source. She works on environmental and climate justice in the Arab world, teaches courses on political economy in Madrid, and occasionally translates Arabic literature into English. She plots on intellectual property at the art collective AbolishIP.
