The history of photography and art is often told from a Western, Eurocentric and white perspective. A decolonial approach addresses what is left out of this history and develops strategies to amplify forgotten or untold stories.
Using exhibitions such as Johny Pitts’ Home is Not a Place (2023, The Photographers’ Gallery) and The Missing Thread(2023, Somerset House), as well as The Road to Nowhere and M Le Monde magazines, Moulaye and Dalia will discuss a decolonial approach to both editing and curating.
There will be an opportunity for you to interact with other audience members in a group activity, where you will explore a certain theme and join group discussions as well as a Q&A.
This session runs from 18.30 – 19.30, please arrive on time.
Dalia Al-Dujaili is an Iraqi-British freelance writer, editor, and producer based in London. She writes and collaborates in a range of contexts, and is the founder of The Road to Nowhere magazine – a showcase for new creative and cultural writing, art, and photography about second-generation immigrants, diaspora, and migration narratives.
Photographer and photo editor, Moulaye Diarra uses photography to raise awareness and convey emotions. He is currently expanding his skills by working within the photography department of M Le magazine du Monde
