Who decides how memory endures, and what role does photography play in shaping collective narratives?

I’m sharing this here because it is the first event in On Seeing & Being Seen, a new talks series created through PLATFORM 2020, the online educational platform I founded, in collaboration with The VII Foundation.

Memory as Resistance: Archives, Inheritance & the Politics of Remembering brings together Max Houghton, Sana Ginwalla and Ziyah Gafic for a conversation on photography, remembrance, inheritance and the ways images can hold, resist and reshape history.

Centred on lived experience, the talk reflects on how memory is constructed, contested and carried through photography and on the importance of voices too often misrepresented or overlooked.
