Archiving 1971: contemporary circulations of photography from the Bangladesh Liberation War

该项目调查了1971年孟加拉国解放战争期间摄影图像的传播情况。通过对当代档案实践的民族志探索，以及在孟加拉国首都达卡的博物馆学展示策略，我对与解放战争的集体记忆有关的图像所做的工作以及图像所做的工作感兴趣。在此过程中，我追溯了1971年以来照片的生命历程，从摄影事件发生的那一刻及其技术条件，到图像的最初出版，再到它们在今天的存档和（再）流通。

This project investigates the circulations of photographic images from Bangladesh's 1971 Liberation War. Through an ethnographic exploration of contemporary archival practices, as well as of museological display strategies in the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, I am interested in the work being done with images, as well as the work being done by images, in relation to the collective memory of the Liberation War. In doing so, I trace the life-journeys of photographs from 1971, from the moment of the photographic event and its technomaterial conditions, through to the images' initial publication, and subsequently on to their archiving and (re)circulation in the present day.
