The workshop explores the relationship between visual representation and the political imagination. What political possibilities do images open up or foreclose? How are images used to define crisis?
How is citizenship imagined through photography in a moment of mass-migration? Is photography likely to reinforce stereotypical formulas? Can photography explode established visual archetypes?
These are some of the questions that the workshop will consider.
