🎧 PALESTINIAN SOUND ARCHIVE: Meetup & Listening Session with Karma Abudagga (Artist & Researcher, Palestinian Sound Archive, DE)

📅 11 June 2026 | 19.00–21.00
📍 Stadtwerkstatt, Karl-Liebknecht-Straße 11, Berlin 10178
🎟️ FREE – Limited to 70 participants. Register now! (link in bio)

📼 About the Palestinian Sound Archive: Majazz Project is a Palestinian-led record label and research platform. Over several years, Mo'min Swaitat amassed an archive of rare tapes and vinyl from Palestine and beyond; from Bedouin wedding field recordings to revolutionary tracks and synth-heavy 80s funk & jazz.
What began as a plan to reissue Bedouin Palestinian music evolved into something greater. Through club nights, radio sets, installations, live performances, and storytelling, the Archive preserves by sharing; situating music in its cultural, social, and political contexts.

🔉 Listening Session: Karma invites you to a shared, embodied encounter with sound. Listening here is not passive, as it moves through the body, stirs memory, opens quiet spaces of attention. Together we'll explore fragments of voice, rhythm, spoken word, field recordings, and poetry that trace the lives, landscapes, and histories of the Palestinian people. Each piece carries echoes beyond the moment of hearing. We will slow down and listen closely, attuning to the textures, silences, and resonances that emerge. In this space, sound becomes a vessel for memory and imagination, a site of active resistance to colonial erasure.

An invitation to dwell within sound, to listen with care, presence, and one another.

🌱 About Karma Abudagga: Palestinian artist & researcher focusing on seed commoning and acts of reclamation as future-making praxis. Co-founder of Inbetween Collective and organizing member of the Palestinian Sound Archive. Explores decolonial storytelling through sound, writing, and intimate listening sessions.

EXPOSING CRIMES IS NOT A CRIME: The Real-World Consequences of WikiLeaks
📸 Highlights of our sixth panel Art as Evidence & Resistance (March 21, 2026), moderated by Becky Haghpanah-Shirwan.

🗣️ Featuring: Robert Trafford (Deputy Director, Forensis; Assistant Director, Forensic Architecture, UK/DE), Institute for Dissent and Datalove (Collective of Hackers, Artists, Activists and Tinkerers, DE, FR, US), Davide Dormino (Visual Artist, Activist, IT), Manja McCade (Artist, Co-Founder, Julian Assange Archive e.V., DE). Moderation: Becky Haghpanah-Shirwan (Director, A/POLITICAL, UK).

Between 2009 and 2016, WikiLeaks' activities fostered trusted networks exploring the intersection of whistleblowing and art, challenging boundaries on what constitutes publishable material and artistic expression. Notably, in November 2009, WikiLeaks released 570,000 confidential pager messages from the 9/11 attacks, creating a real-time archive of communications from the Pentagon, FBI, and others, which has been rebroadcast annually on subsequent anniversaries.

The concept of "Art as Evidence" emerged from dialogues between Laura Poitras, Jacob Appelbaum, Trevor Paglen, and Tatiana Bazzichelli. Introduced at Berlin's 2014 transmediale festival, it examines how art can inform reality and provoke responses. The panel is moderated by Becky Haghpanah-Shirwan, Director of A/POLITICAL, whose organization collaborated on the 2023 exhibition "States of Violence" marking Julian Assange's detention anniversary.

This final symposium panel explores artistic methodologies that resist oppression, support grassroots interventions, and defend civil rights and social justice.

Meet Stefania Maurizi, an investigative journalist for il Fatto Quotidiano (formerly with L'Espresso and la Repubblica). Stefania Maurizi is the only journalist to have worked on nearly all WikiLeaks files and conducted multi-jurisdictional FOIA litigation to access their full documentation. Notable works include revealing Edward Snowden's files on Italy with Glenn Greenwald and exposing a confidential US deal regarding the family of drone strike victim Giovanni Lo Porto. Her award-winning book, ""Secret Power: WikiLeaks and Its Enemies"", has been translated into four languages.

On March 20 (2026), she participated on our panel „Government & Diplomatic Cables“ along with Kristinn Hrafnsson (Editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks, IS), Jack Poulson (Executive Director, Tech Inquiry, US), Ewen MacAskill (Reporter, Former Guardian's Defence and Intelligence Correspondent, UK) – moderated by Joseph Farrell (WikiLeaks Ambassador, SZ/UK).

EXPOSING CRIMES IS NOT A CRIME: The Real-World Consequences of WikiLeaks
📸 Highlights of our fifth panel Global Economy & Corporate Secrets (March 21, 2026), moderated by Deepa Govindarajan Driver.

🗣️ Featuring: Matthew Kennard (Author, Investigative Journalist, UK), Scott Ludlam @scottludlam
(Designer, Researcher, Former Senator for Western Australia, AU), Esteban Servat @estebanservat
(Climate Activist, Founder, EcoLeaks AR/DE), Clara López Rubio (Filmmaker, ES/DE) @claralopezrubio. Moderation: Deepa Govindarajan Driver (Lecturer in Governance, Regulation and Risk, Henley Business School, UK).

International trade deals have long been criticized for closed-door negotiations that favor corporate lobbies over democratic institutions and civil society. Publishers like WikiLeaks help counter efforts to privatize public goods, censor the internet, extend drug patents, and undermine environmental and labor regulations.

Key WikiLeaks disclosures include exposing Bank Julius Bär's alleged tax fraud and money laundering via the Cayman Islands—which temporarily shut down the site before the injunction was lifted on civil rights grounds—and the Fishrot Files, revealing how Western multinationals bribed Namibian authorities to secure fishing quotas while avoiding taxes through offshore havens.

Beyond document releases, WikiLeaks actively pursued corporate accountability. In 2015, they launched a €100,000 crowdfunding campaign to incentivize whistleblowers to reveal details about the planned Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), then "Europe's most wanted secret."

The panel was moderated by Deepa Govindarajan Driver, whose advocacy demonstrates the relevance of WikiLeaks' work for corporate responsibility and accountability.

Key WikiLeaks disclosures include exposing Bank Julius Bär's alleged tax fraud and money laundering via the Cayman Islands—which temporarily shut down the site before the injunction was lifted on civil rights grounds—and the Fishrot Files, revealing how Western multinationals bribed Namibian authorities to secure fishing quotas while avoiding taxes through offshore havens.

Beyond document releases, WikiLeaks actively pursued corporate accountability. In 2015, they launched a €100,000 crowdfunding campaign to incentivize whistleblowers to reveal details about the planned Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), then "Europe's most wanted secret."

The panel was moderated by Deepa Govindarajan Driver, whose advocacy demonstrates the relevance of WikiLeaks' work for corporate responsibility and accountability.

Meet Clara Lopez Rubio, filmmaker and historian. In their documentary film “Hacking Justice” (2017/2021), Clara López Rubio and Juan Pancorbo documented the period during which Julian Assange took refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, following the work of his lawyer, Baltasar Garzón. A key focus of the film is the CIA-linked spying operation conducted by the Spanish security firm UC Global during Assange's asylum in the Embassy.

On March 21 (2026), she participated on our panel „Global Economy & Corporate Secrets“ along with Matthew Kennard (Author, Investigative Journalist, UK), Scott Ludlam (Designer, Researcher, Former Senator for Western Australia, AU) and Esteban Servat (Climate Activist, Founder, EcoLeaks AR/DE) – moderated by Deepa Govindarajan Driver (Lecturer in Governance, Regulation and Risk, Henley Business School, UK).

EXPOSING CRIMES IS NOT A CRIME: The Real-World Consequences of WikiLeaks

📸 Highlights of our fourth panel Intelligence & Cybersurveillance (March 20, 2026), moderated by journalist Chip Gibbons.

🗣️ Featuring: Terry Albury (Former FBI Agent, Whistleblower, US), Thomas Drake (Whistleblower, former NSA Senior Executive, US), Katharine Gun (Iraq War Whistleblower, former GCHQ Analyst, UK/TR), Andy Müller-Maguhn (Wau Holland Foundation, DE)

This panel examines documents published by WikiLeaks from 2012-2017, including Stratfor emails, Hacking Team communications, NSA surveillance documents, Bundestag Inquiry into BND/NSA, NSA France Inquiry, Spy Files Russia, and Vault 7/8 revealing CIA electronic surveillance and cyber warfare.

These leaks enabled investigative journalists, forensic experts, and the public to identify hidden surveillance mechanisms from corporations and governments, providing accountability. They exposed NSA global surveillance and CIA infrastructure, demonstrated malware abuse and privacy risks affecting everyday connected devices, and showed how any device can be hacked for surveillance.

Chip Gibbons researches FBI political surveillance history and the Espionage Act's impact on press freedom. Policy Director at Defending Rights & Dissent, co-author of the Daniel Ellsberg Press Freedom & Whistleblower Protection Act.

"EXPOSING CRIMES IS NOT A CRIME: The Real-World Consequences of WikiLeaks
📸 Highlights of our third panel Government & Diplomatic Cables (March 20, 2026), moderated by WikiLeaks Ambassador Joseph Farrell.

🗣️ Featuring: Kristinn Hrafnsson (Editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks, IS), Stefania Maurizi (Investigative Journalist, Regular Contributor, Il Fatto Quotidiano, IT), Jack Poulson, Executive Director, Tech Inquiry, US, Ewen MacAskill (Reporter, Former Guardian's Defence and Intelligence Correspondent, UK). Moderation: Joseph Farrell (WikiLeaks Ambassador, UK).

In 2010, WikiLeaks' release of over 250,000 diplomatic cables (known as CableGate) exposed US espionage at the UN, corruption in the Middle East, and human rights abuses, likely catalyzing the Arab Spring and shifting US policy in Iraq. While Julian Assange was honored with Australia's top journalism award for these revelations, he subsequently became a primary target of the US government.

Key figures in this era of investigative journalism include Stefania Maurizi, who uncovered US pressure on Italy regarding the kidnapping of an Egyptian cleric; Pulitzer Prize winner Ewan MacAskill, who played a pivotal role in publishing Edward Snowden's NSA disclosures alongside the diplomatic cables; and Jack Poulson, whose TechInquiry project mapped the hidden ties between Silicon Valley and the military-industrial complex.

The conversation also highlights the ongoing work of WikiLeaks insiders Kristinn Hrafnsson, the organization's editor-in-chief, and Joseph Farrell, an ambassador who helped process major releases like the Iraq and Afghan War Logs. Together, these journalists and activists have reshaped transparency and accountability in global politics.

🗣️ Featuring: Kristinn Hrafnsson (Editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks, IS), Stefania Maurizi (Investigative Journalist, Regular Contributor, Il Fatto Quotidiano, IT), Jack Poulson, Executive Director, Tech Inquiry, US, Ewen MacAskill (Reporter, Former Guardian's Defence and Intelligence Correspondent, UK). Moderation: Joseph Farrell (WikiLeaks Ambassador, UK).

In 2010, WikiLeaks' release of over 250,000 diplomatic cables (known as CableGate) exposed US espionage at the UN, corruption in the Middle East, and human rights abuses, likely catalyzing the Arab Spring and shifting US policy in Iraq. While Julian Assange was honored with Australia's top journalism award for these revelations, he subsequently became a primary target of the US government.

Key figures in this era of investigative journalism include Stefania Maurizi, who uncovered US pressure on Italy regarding the kidnapping of an Egyptian cleric; Pulitzer Prize winner Ewan MacAskill, who played a pivotal role in publishing Edward Snowden's NSA disclosures alongside the diplomatic cables; and Jack Poulson, whose TechInquiry project mapped the hidden ties between Silicon Valley and the military-industrial complex.

The conversation also highlights the ongoing work of WikiLeaks insiders Kristinn Hrafnsson, the organization's editor-in-chief, and Joseph Farrell, an ambassador who helped process major releases like the Iraq and Afghan War Logs. Together, these journalists and activists have reshaped transparency and accountability in global politics.
