ALT Advisory is calling for three young African artists and/or photojournalists to create digital artwork, photography, and other visual media centered on themes linked to information rights, such as data protection, online freedom of expression, digital privacy, and internet access.
This is part of a new ALT Advisory Special Project to create open-source visual media about information rights that promote these rights, inspire optimism and/or activity, and contribute to information rights representations that encourage diversity and inclusivity.
Selected images will be licensed to ALT Advisory and made available to third parties under a Creative Commons license.
