Mosireen launched its Internet “resistance archive,” named 858—the
number of hours of footage the archive contained when it went live. The
collection includes footage shot during the revolution by both members
and non-members (many of whom choose to remain anonymous
).
When I spoke with members of Mosireen, they described the act of
assembling their video archive as a defense of the revolution’s memory
against the regime. Members requested anonymity, as they collectively
share credit for their work, and gave pseudonyms that double as their
usernames in the online archive. “Putting together this archive is a
subversive act,” one member who goes by the name Krypton said. “It’s a
way of battling the narrative being put out by the state to erase
history, to have people forget what was possible.”
