How can open source investigations be used to pursue humanitarian, social, and environmental justice? And how are these investigations conducted? Join us to explore the methods and possibilities of open-source investigations and hear more about how you might become part of the lab.
Through a series of gatherings, we will explore the methods of visual and open source investigation, including geolocation, chronolocation, dorking, and other methods to document and analyse human rights violations and ecological violence.
This first OPEN LAB will focus on the use of open source methods to monitor ecological destruction. Together, we will watch a short guide to OSINT tools for monitoring wildfires and screen a newly published investigation by Pax Memoria, made in collaboration with Visual Justice Lab, on the wildfires and ecological destruction in Southern Lebanon. The screening will be followed by an informal discussion on the investigation, its methods and practices, and the role of visual material in documenting ecological destruction.
You don’t need any prior knowledge of open source methods. No registration required.
The event is organised by Visual Justice Lab and Before the Image, with support from the European Research Council (ERC) and UCPH Geopolitics Seed Money.
