Right to Gaze: Meditations on the Imaginary Self
What is the ‘telling practice’ of a photograph? What is the liaison between the colonial history of photography as a vehicle towards the reclamation of a sense of individual or collective selfhood? The discussion will interrogate the role of the body and ancestral memories in re-creating individual and collective memories in the Diaspora whilst focusing on the dichotomy between reality and fiction through the practice of emerging contemporary artists.
