Free Workshop: The Imaginary of Disobedience
Monday, January 19,
-
Join us on Martin Luther King Jr. Day for a free workshop exploring how visual practices - especially photography - shape, record and reimagine a century of global dissent. Organized by Duke History professors Avrati Bhatnagar and Sumathi Ramaswamy, the workshop draws on Dr. King's legacy of principled, creative disobedience and considers how images galvanize communities and help envision more just futures.
Space is limited, please register at https://rsvp.duke.edu/event/be847d51-8bc2-4cfe-8acf-a9852fca4598/summary.
Presenters include nine scholars, curators and artists from Duke University as well as Brown University, Concordia University, Hong Kong Baptist University, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and the University of Richmond. Their work spans South Asia, Iran, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Brazil and the United States.
The workshop includes an introduction, three thematic panels and a concluding discussion. For the complete program, please see the registration page.
The workshop will also consider - and serves as the closing event for - "Disobedient Subjects: Bombay 1930-31," an exhibition at Duke Center for Documentary Studies featuring rare historical photographs from India's 1930-31 Civil Disobedience Movement, illuminating how everyday citizens, including women and children, helped transform the city into a powerful symbol of anticolonial resistance.
All are welcome - students, scholars, community members and anyone interested in how art, photography and documentary storytelling support movements for justice.
