The Middle Eastern Studies, University of Basel, are organising the Second Balkan Visual Meeting, on 5 and 6 June 2015. This interdisciplinary conference will bring together specialists on the visual culture of the Balkans and Turkey from the region and beyond. Four panels will focus on the use of photography in view of political power, propaganda, and gender, and on transfers of religious art. A keynote on photo journalism as social history will be delivered by the renowned photo historian Anton Holzer. The conference is part of the Basel SIBA project’s annual workshop. All are welcome.
