Questioning reflections of Empire

Dr Shawn Sobers, Associate Professor of Lens-based Media at UWE, brings together a panel of speakers and artists to discuss and respond creatively to the question of how the British Empire and its legacy are represented in photo and film. Suitable for anyone with an interest in striking images, post-colonial studies, or our social history. Empire Through the Lens From about 500,000 images, we asked 27 people to each choose one piece. The selectors include development workers, artists, photographers, historians and relatives of the photographers. They each bring a different perspective to the collection, and represent a broad range of personal knowledge, aesthetic appreciation and academic thought on the people and countries shown in the images, the legacy of Empire and the post-colonial experience. Part of BBC Civilisations Festival. In partnership with UWE.
