Conversations about Mass Surveillance, Social Control, and Safer Cities
This slideshow serves as an interactive workshop on the scope of mass surveillance in the United States, particularly in Detroit and other urban communities. It is meant to explore surveillance's effects on privacy, policing, and community life. Media, like documentaries, databases, and short-form content, is featured throughout. The video clips have been chosen to foster complex discussions on the effects of surveillance and what role it should play in communities. Participants are encouraged to evaluate their own relationships with surveillance, whether through group discussion or creating their own materials (journal reflections, zines, collages, etc.).
