co-matter digest #28: A conversation with political cartoonist Khalid Albaih
 "Social media gave us a space in the beginning. But then the same people we were fighting realized that and made everything in their power to control that space. […] The battle we fought before we’re now going to fight again."
Khalid Albaih is a political cartoonist and social media activist.

Using the Internet as a way of publishing uncensored drawings since 2006, Khalid has been one of the leading visual artists of the Arab Spring and has witnessed first hand how social media evolved - from a tool to fight the establishment to eventually becoming the establishment itself.

For episode 14 of The Community Podcast we talk about how social media changed since Khalid got started, how politics got involved and the chances for the Internet to remain a space to raise our voices.

Here's what's been happening in the last few weeks:
  • Together with our friends Jessica and Jenny we hosted a Community Leadership get-together during Slush 2018 in Helsinki. Great fun. Watch out for more of these taking place next year.
     
  • Kristoffer relaunched his weekly newsletter on technology and Internet culture. It's really good, if we may say so. Subscribe via Naive Weekly.
     
  • The good people from Joy List NYC have published a Master List of Community-Building Resources. Thanks for including us!
     
  • Severin will be in San Francisco the week of January 12-18. If you're around drop him a DM.
We'll be offline for the rest of the year. Happy holidays!
