What will happen in your session?

Through the Shutdown Stories Project, Access Now, with the help of its partners, has been documenting the effects of internet shutdown on ordinary people around the world. Our shutdown stories exhibit will bring these stories to MozFest. After the gallery viewing, attendees can ask questions, leave comments and messages in the empty placards, or tag the stories that made them angry or propose ways to hold telecoms and governments accountable.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

We want the MozFest community to interact with, learn from, and understand the impact of internet shutdowns on ordinary people, and potentially join the #KeepItOn Community to fight against internet shutdowns.

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.

We will need a projector, an exhibition area, and easels.

Time needed

All weekend, as an installation, exhibit or drop-in session
