Carissa Véliz in conversation with Daniel Marquínez

We pass on data every time we browse the Internet and use the social media, without concern for the value our privacy has. We feel we are making our everyday lives easier, but we are not aware of the power we are giving to private companies. Carissa Véliz is the author of Privacy is Power: Why and How You Should Take Back Control of Your Data and The Ethics of Privacy and Surveillance in which she talks of the practical and philosophical risks of losing our privacy in such a digital society. She will talk to the Fundación Gabo Projects Director Daniel Marquínez.

All events on Saturday, January 31st will be free for people with ID from the department of Bolívar. Complimentary tickets can be requested —up to capacity— at the box office of the Hay Festival (Centro de Convenciones) showing your identification on the same day the event is taking place.
