Facial recognition surveillance ban
The use of surveillance systems like facial recognition has gone too far - it's time we pushed back on this invasion of our privacy.
See what we are up to
![Hey Melbourne! Want to learn more about the way that surveillance is used in our public spaces? We've developed a guided walking tour through Melbourne CBD. Come along and see the city through new eyes by learning about how we are watched, tracked and monitored as we go about each day.
Launching on April 26 as part of the City of Melbourne's Melbourne Knowledge Week.
There are several ways you can participate - pop your headphones in and listen to the audio, print out the map and all the info (the tech-free option!), or register to come join us for in-person tours on the 1st and 2nd of May. Bonus: if you register you can come meet some of the DRW team IRL.
You can register on the Melbourne Knowledge Week site, or head to the link in our bio.
