[Commlist] Fwd: 'Reimagining Digital ID: learning from the South' Symposium & Art Exhibition

Those of you in London might be interested in the following event at 
Goldsmiths, University of London on November 8^th  - all welcome, but 
registration is required.
Reimagining Digital ID: learning from the South
A one-day event on Digital ID in Global South, refugee and UK contexts, 
including art exhibition launch with drawings by Karen refugees
Room 137A, Richard Hoggart Building, Goldsmiths University of London
November 8th, 10:15-17:00
The event marks the end of the British Academy project 'Reimagining 
Digital Identity among Karen refugees in Thailand' (REDID 
https://www.redid.net/ <https://www.redid.net/>). REDID team members 
(Mirca Madianou, Charlotte Hill and Hayso Thako) will share key findings 
in conversation with researchers studying Digital ID in Global South 
contexts where such systems have long been piloted. The UK government's 
recent announcement about the introduction of Digital ID is a call to 
learn from research in Global Majority contexts and consider the 
implications of such systems for migrants and refugees. The event will 
include roundtable discussions bringing together designers, academics 
and representatives from digital human rights groups, migrant advocacy 
groups and think-tanks to discuss the implications of digital ID systems 
in the UK.
The event will also include the launch of the *art* *exhibition* of 
drawings and poems by Karen refugees from the Thai-Myanmar border. 
Through this artwork, Karen people reimagine what a fair identity system 
would look like from their point of view. The exhibition runs from 
November 1-27 in Kingsway corridor, Richard Hoggart Building, Goldsmiths 
- for more information see here:
