About
This conversation program offers a unique opportunity to engage directly with rare nineteenth- and early twentieth-century stereographs, the innovative photographs that produce striking 3D images when viewed through a stereoscope. Participants will gain hands-on experience with the stereographs of India and stereoscopes, enabling them to experience travel photography as it was consumed by "armchair travellers" over a century ago. The program facilitates a critical examination of these artifacts, exploring why these specific images of India were created and how they reflect the photographers' views of "other" cultures.
Join us to build a sophisticated understanding of how these powerful visual representations have shaped, and continue to influence, contemporary perceptions of South Asia.
