Welcome! Here is some information about us:

The Witness nurtures and celebrates the diversity of worldviews by publishing and sharing weekly photo, audio, and video fragments sent by artists, researchers and local inhabitants bearing wit(h)ness to the situation on the ground, amplifies the voices of the most radical listeners and deepens solidarity between them by facilitating the space and place for active, long-term translocal cooperation, and imagines new forms of activism and new ways of serving the times in which we live by organizing Openlabs with communities, universities and festivals around the world.
