What kind of history does the photograph tell? What—or whose—claims does the photograph inscribe?

Explore these questions with us at 1 pm on 23 November in the first launch event for our online exhibition Forms, Voices, Networks: Feminism and the Media.

The Politics of Photography: Feminist Activisms in India and Britain

The panel brings together the leading photographers, artists and activists, Sheba Chhachhi and Mary-Ann Kennedy. With discussant Na’ama Klorman-Eraqi, Chhachhi and Kennedy will draw on their creative practice to consider the diverse and changing ways feminists have mobilised photography as a form of political activism from the late 20th century to the present. The discussion addresses how feminists have interrogated and re-imagined the role of photography, subverting dominant historical narratives, renegotiating the relationship between the photographer and the photographed, and envisioning feminist futures: what kind of history does the photograph tell? Who or what is included—and who is not? What—or whose—claims does the photograph inscribe?
