Applications for the workshop are now closed.

Public protests around the world are often recorded by multiple actors. When posted online, these photos and videos can serve as powerful evidence of police abuse. In this workshop, participants will learn the key open-source tools and techniques to document police violations, such as excessive force, arbitrary arrest and the improper use of weapons. Investigations from Germany, Colombia, Iran, Senegal, and the United States will showcase key methods of remote research, such as video verification and geolocation, 3D modelling, and data analysis. Guided by Fred Abrahams and Marija Ristic, the participants will work together to investigate a case using photos, videos, maps, and other sources of information.

The workshops takes place on 29 Jan, 10:00 – 18:00.
