Authentic photographs, sound recordings, and moving images are increasingly being detached from their original context and re‑released into the public sphere without explanation - or with deliberately false narratives. When this happens, even genuine archival materials can become instruments of manipulation, shaping public opinion or fueling social tension. This emerging challenge places new pressures on audiovisual archives, which must now respond not only as custodians of cultural memory but also as defenders of evidential integrity.

This panel proposes to examine how institutions can strengthen their capacity to validate provenance, preserve contextual information, and communicate authenticity in an era where audiovisual content can be easily appropriated, reframed, and weaponized.
