Images from Ukraine: the strengths and dangers of visual data
Part of the PeaceTech in Action event
This workshop shares a unique set of images from Ukraine, gathered in 2019 - 2020 in the aftermath of the Russian attacks in the Crimea in 2014 but before the current invasion. The project used art to explore Ukrainian perceptions of the self and other, but the changing context raises challenging questions about how visual material is shared and repurposed, and the ethical dilemmas this presents for data scientists and IT professionals.
Workshop leaders:
Nabeela Khan, PhD candidate at the University of Bradford Department of Peace Studies and International Development. Her research explores the use of visual methodologies in conflict settings.
