Global Photographies at Landskrona Fotofestival

The panel conversation on Decolonial Photographies, is hosted by HDK-Valand, as one of the partners in the network Global Photographies. It is centered around the section Decolonial Practices: Speaking Back to the Canon, edited by myself and Emese Mucsi from the Capa Center in Hungary, which reflects the variety and complexity of postcolonial legacies, with a set of contributions that frame photography’s potential to be used within decolonial practices in contexts as diverse as South Asia, Greenland, Hungary and South Africa. In this panel discussion the editors of the book, Duncan Wooldridge (UK) and Lucy Soutter (UK), will be in conversation with the contributors of the book Nina Mangalanayagam (SE), Tanvi Mishra (IN) and Àgnes Bàshty (HU) to discuss key terminology and unpack the ways contemporary photographic projects speak back to colonial pasts through processes including the strategic reframing of archival materials, engagement with indigenous practices, and the construction of auto-narratives.
