In this episode, curator and cultural historian Mark Sealy and Wolfgang Kaleck talk about the challenges of visual representation. They discuss the visuals of violence and the viewers’ responsibility and interrogate different ways of dealing with photography produced in colonial and postcolonial contexts. Sealy and Kaleck thereby try to answer the question: How do we deploy these images… and to what purpose?
