“War, which is at the heart of the construction of the modern world, which constitutes the very basis of colonial and imperialist politics, is the central weapon of structural, systematic violence, of racial and neoliberal capitalism, and its patriarchy”.
From Feminist Theory of Violence Vergès, Françoise
This special double issue of Photography & Culture looks at women photographers making work about conflict and reflects the papers delivered at the fourth conference concerned with women in photography organized by Fast Forward in collaboration with Sandra Križić Roban at the Institute of Art History in Zagreb and Nestan Nijaradze at Tbilisi Photo Festival. The conference was held at the Nikola Tesla Technical Museum from the 16 – 17 November 2023 and it was organised in collaboration with University for the Creative Arts, London College of Communication at University for the Arts, London, The Institute of Art History and Art Pavilion in Zagreb and Tbilisi Photo Festival in Georgia. It was aligned with an exhibition “Floodlit Room – Women’s Photographic Practice in Croatia”, curated by Sandra Križić Roban at Nikola Tesla Technical Museum and The Ethnographical Museum. Our keynote speakers were two prominent practitioners Jananne Al-Ani and Susan Meiselas who shared their works and knowledge with the audience. The articles in this issue act to diversify and shed new light on the debates about women working in conflict and post-conflict zones introducing new works and new approaches to working with histories and traumatic experiences through photographic practices.
The editors of this special issue of Photography & Culture are Anna Fox and Maria Kapajeva.
The conference committee were Anna Fox, Maria Kapajeva, Nestan Nijaradze, Sandra Križić Roban and Val Williams.
