Decolonizing the camera in practice

Guatemalan visual artist Ixmucané Aguilar joins Wolfgang Kaleck, ECCHR general secretary, to discuss her documentary photography practice  exploring the enduring effects of German colonialism in Namibia and the genocide against the Herero and Nama. The conversation addresses the fragility of photography as a medium, the risk the photographer runs of imposing their values upon their subject, the importance of collective  evidence and recognizing the many nuances of truth.
