Description

Photography is often approached as a site of historical inquiry, in which the traces of a past of violence and traumatic events are examined and reframed. At the same time, negotiations between memory and the historical are possible through subjective and fictional narratives that unveil the perspective of subaltern voices against the Western narrative.

Guest speaker Mohini Chandra, and moderators Esther Scholtes and Santasil Mallik, will engage in a discussion about photography, historical violence and critical narratives against colonial desire, thus contributing towards a transformative politics of change.
