The event series (Re)imagining freedom of expression in postdigital societies brings together academics, artists, cultural workers and activists to discuss the right to freedom of expression in the context of digitalisation. At a historical moment in which private actors such as large technology companies have become key players in the reshaping of public space and discourse, it is important to reflect together on the values, goals and limits of freedom of expression. Which intellectual tools, which technical and legal infrastructures best serve the needs of democratic societies?
