THE QUESTION OF THE RIGHT TO THE IMAGE

A book edited by The Abounaddara Collective with Katarina Nitsch, supported by the Swedish Institute.

But these rights don’t protect the world’s most vulnerable citizens whose indignity is exhibited on the screens of the world in the name of the freedom of media. How can we conceive of a more just right to the image, based on the equality in dignity of all the citizens of the world?
