The panel conversation on Decolonial Photographies, is hosted by HDK-Valand, Gothenburg University, one of the partners in the network Global Photographies. This international network of academics, artists, photographers, writers, curators and publishers is rooted in exchange and a concern to de-center and decolonise photographic practice. It aims to share knowledge and tools, organise talks, workshops and academic seminars, and give space to expansive contextual and conceptually adventurous approaches to the photographic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The talk coincides with the launch of the publication The Routledge Companion to Global Photographies, <\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong>whichprovides a transnational discussion, grounded in dialogue between authors and editors from many locations and contexts. The section Decolonial Practices: Speaking Back to the Canon<\/em>, edited by Nina Mangalanayagam and Emese Mucsi, reflects the variety and complexity of postcolonial legacies, with a set of contributions that frame photography\u2019s 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 and Lucy Soutter, will be in conversation with the contributors of the book Nina Mangalanayagam, Tanvi Mishra and \u00c0gnes B\u00e0shty 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
