The workshop Imagined Pasts. Colonialism, Photography, and Archives<\/em> gathered 23 participants and about 40 attendees in a two-day programme<\/a> of presentations and stimulating debate.\u00a0The project Colour of Labour<\/a>\u00a0co-organized the session on Photography and Indentured Labour, sponsoring the presence of scholars from India and Mauritius.<\/p>\n

Papers delivered at the workshop included historical contexts as diverse as British, Italian, Dutch, German, and Portuguese colonialisms\u00a0in Angola, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Mozambique, Namibia, New Zealand, Papua New-Guinea, South Africa, and Tunisia among others. The worshop fostered multiple discussions that emerge from the contemporary display of visual and other material remains of European colonial regimes. Who has the right to own and represent colonial photo archives? What do photographs from colonial times show and conceal? What limits should be observed when displaying images of colonial violence? What can we see when we look beyond appearances?<\/p>\n

The workshop also included the presentation of a pop-up version of the exhibition The Painters of the City: North Africa 1880-1920<\/a>, curated by William Gallois from the University of Exeter, UK. The glass windows of ICS bookshop and cafeteria were painted with some of the mural patterns that featured in North African cities in the last years of the 19th<\/sup>\u00a0century and first years of the 20th<\/sup>\u00a0century.<\/p>\n
