Lea Shaver: Open Video and Human Rights
by Lea Shaver | June 19, 2009 | Workshops & Symposia | 1 Comment
ISP Resident Fellow Lea Shaver spoke at the Open Video Conference today on a panel addressing “Human Rights and Indigenous Media: Dilemmas, Challenges and Opportunities.”
In her presentation, Shaver suggested that open video promotes human rights in two ways, strengthening freedom of expression and cultural participation.

Using examples from the recent mass demonstrations in Iran, Shaver highlighted how people were using digital video to defend their human rights, and examined the limits to these possibilities imposed by the current closed nature of most video technology.
The slides from Shaver’s presentation, including a complete transcript, are available for download here: [ppt]
