Making Memory Visible Through Photography

Making Memory Visible Through Photography

By Gresham College

Overview

Lecture shows how photography and archival work make memory visible, fostering connection, validation, and dialogue between past and present

In her extensive work bridging photography and archival research, Dr. Julia Winckler has witnessed the power of photography to connect people, to inspire a sense of validation, of feeling seen and valued and heard. That their story matters. That they matter. In this lecture, sharing examples from her own practice, Dr. Winckler will explore the creative mechanisms involved in making memory visible through photography. Through encounters, conversations, and the physical retracing of journeys, new work is made on location, creating a dialogue across time between new images and originals.
