The Right to Privacy

Hey,

I'm curious. What do you think? 

- Who has the right to privacy? 

- Are you comfortable being tracked? 

- Can I screenshot a text from you and show someone else without you knowing?

- Should I be allowed to anonymously take your photo in a park?

- Is CCTV encroaching on our freedom? 

- Do children have a right to privacy?

Oh, so many questions. As a Project Curator (alongside Natalia Fidyka) for the Museum of Freedom and Tolerance, we were invited to explore article 12 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as part of their human rights x human responsibilities campaign. 

We were intrigued to explore cultural, technological and legal rights. Privacy laws are certainly clear, but then we got to thinking about moral privacy. Just because we can, doesn't mean we should. 

After much research and conversation, something unexpected kept recurring and we found ourselves facing the same question from the people we interviewed. 

Check out the clip! I would LOVE to know what you think.
