Home/Land: Women, Citizenship, Photographies.
Home/Land asks what dialogues might be engendered, globally and locally, around concepts of citizenship and belonging by engaging with women’s photographic practices.
With papers and presentations from theoreticians, historians and/or practising artists on issues surrounding citizenship exoplored through women’s photographic practices, the conference will touch on issues including but not limited to;
- how questions of sexual and other forms of difference impact upon the geopolitics of citizenship;
- how the imaged communities formed through multiple modes of photographic practice inform, unform or reform notions of ‘home’;
- how women’s photographies redefine personal and communal identities in relation to the politics of ‘land’
