Landed Histories: Ecology, Power and Politics in Digital and Lens-based Practices photo
Photography and film lend themselves to storytelling and the articulation of narrative, and have long been used to establish visual architectures of power. How are artists thinking through image-led media to disrupt hegemonic histories? How do digital cultures enable engagement with political and poetic realities contained in land, and embodied by nature?

Full program to be announced.

Landed Histories celebrates the opening of the Jameel Prize: Moving Images exhibition and Speculations on Capture, a new commission by Morehshin Allahyari.
