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

这个项目调查了1971年孟加拉解放战争时期摄影图像的流传情况。通过对当代档案实践以及孟加拉国首都达卡的博物馆学展示策略的民族志探索，我对正在用图像完成的工作以及正在通过图像完成的与解放战争集体记忆有关的工作感兴趣。在这样做的过程中，我追溯了照片的生命之旅，从1971年，从摄影事件的那一刻及其技术材料条件，到图像的最初发表，然后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.
