The degree to which artists and cultural institutions utilised digital media to promote social and political change following the Arab Spring raises significant and timely questions about the relationship between global networked systems of communication and cultural activism.\u00a0Since 2011, digital images have\u00a0become closely associated with activist practices,\u00a0which has in turn produced\u00a0a number of\u00a0prevailing assumptions about how effective digital and social media are as tools for embracing and enabling political transformation. Taking into consideration\u00a0recent revelations concerning the role of social media in surveillance technologies,\u00a0political repression, and the proliferation of targeted disinformation, and attendant anxieties about the opaque power of algorithms, this\u00a0panel\u00a0will explore critical frameworks for understanding\u00a0the relationship between digitised media and cultural activism. The broader issue here concerns a perennial, indeed worldwide, issue: how do cultural practices \u2014 through digital means \u2014 realign how we\u00a0engage with historical events and images of revolutionary conflict?<\/p>\n

This event is co-organised by Professor Anthony Downey (Birmingham City University) and Modern Art Oxford.<\/strong><\/p>\n
