Visual media remain a valuable channel to educate the wider population, but the receiving screen has moved on to computers and handheld devices. With the emergence of social media platforms, we can now engage with global civil society more directly.

A collection of our Instagram posts can be found in the accompanying document “OntoTransArt”.
