It is also Mohaiemen’s satirical response to the title of Salman Rushdie’s novel Midnight’s Children (1981). The reference points to what was left out of postcolonial art history–the many fates of the geography of Bangladesh. Bangladesh existed under three signs– “East Bengal” under British India until 1947, “East Pakistan” under Two-Wing Pakistan until 1971, and “Bangladesh” after the liberation war of 1971.

With her in mind, and emanating from the 2022 edition of Colomboscope festival, SCROLL also engages with the idea of language as a complex translator and migratory force, via the medium of print. We know from Benedict Anderson that print circulation was key to the beginnings of nationalism, as well as continued “borderisation”, to use Achille Mbembe’s term.

We are grounded in this issue with a special contribution by philosopher Nikita Dhawan, whose cues on speech, silence and hegemonic norms of legibility contextualise these conversations. Entangled histories of language are showcased through the centering of lived experiences, be it Lucas Odahara’s collaboration with Indrakanthi Perera through a negotiation of linguistic exchanges between Sinhala and Portuguese, Areez Katki’s textual timestamps of Parsi identity, Sajan Mani \u0026amp; Antony Koothanady’s troubling of Malayalam or Mythri Jegathesen’s historical and close encounters with ‘plantation Tamil’. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe believe in language’s capacity to form communities of care, opacity and nourishment, as marked by Rajyashri Goody’s ongoing meditation on food cultures of Dalit communities in India, and Sarah Burney’s literary friendship with the late artist Zarina.

Among the fundamental questions engaged in the book are the medium specificity of photography; exhibitions as ‘artwork’; critical contexts for imagery; the curator’s role; collaboration and community; notions of ethics, responsibility and care; relationships between artists and curators, museums and audiences; as well as propositions for ‘decolonisation’ through forms of curatorial activism. Ultimately, this volume sheds light on the aesthetic, political and personal concerns of creative individuals involved in exhibition-making, generating new pathways for thinking about the display and dissemination of photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeaturing\u003c\/strong\u003e Sarah Allen, Mariama Attah, Yves Chatap, Clément Chéroux, Charlotte Cotton, Marta Dahó, Christine Eyene, Louise Fedotov-Clements, Yining He, Tom Lovelace, Roxana Marcoci, Shoair Mavlian, Renée Mussai, Thyago Nogueira, Azu Nwagbogu, Danaé Panchaud, Alona Pardo, Anna-Kaisa Rastenberger, Holly Roussell, Drew Sawyer, Kathrin Schönegg, Urs Stahel, Lisa Sutcliffe, Nadine Wietlisbach, Duncan Wooldridge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEditor\u003c\/strong\u003e Tim Clark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCopy Editor\u003c\/strong\u003e Alex Merola\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArt Direction \u0026amp; Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Sarah Boris\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction Assistant\u003c\/strong\u003e Louis Stopforth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrinted and bound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e in Great Britain \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eby Clays Ltd, Elcograf S.p.A\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTim Clark is Editor in Chief of \u003cem\u003e1000 Words\u003c\/em\u003e and Artistic Director for Fotografia Europea in Reggio Emilia, Italy, together with Walter Guadagnini and Luce Lebart.

The book presents a new assemblage of well-known writing and image-making. From texts by historians to recent statements\/interviews by practitioners of photography, the chapters in the book come together to narrate a new story about the transformation and redefinition of photography in the 1990s – a decade marked by economic liberalization, globalization and the ascent of digital technology that revolutionized the media sphere. This compilation critically examines normative paradigms of image production, exhibition-making and circulation in the areas of documentary and fine art photography, journalism, cinema, contemporary art and the archive. It delineates new publics, emergent patterns of viewership, shifting modes of media consumption, and the diverse, technologically enabled creative trajectories that inscribe the postcolonial imaginary within the wider orbit of South Asian image cultures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthors | Artists\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJyoti Bhatt, Margaret Bourke-White, CAMP, Francesca Ceccherini\/Noriko Yamakoshi, Sheba Chhachhi, Dukhshyam Chitrakar, Javed Dar, Lala Deen Dayal, Desire Machine Collective, Sabeena Gadihoke, Gauri Gill, Shumona Goel, Diva Gujral, Sunil Gupta, Shai Heredia, Sunil Janah, Sanjay Kak, Amar Kanwar, Jitish Kallat, Avijit Mukul Kishore, Majid Maqbool, William Mazzarella\/Raminder Kaur, Madhuban Mitra\/Manas Bhattacharya, Kabir Mohanty, Parul Dave Mukherji, Suryanandini Narain, Akbar Padamsee, Prashant Panjiar, Dashrath Patel, Vinodray Patel, People’s War, Sandhini Poddar, Pushpamala N., Raghu Rai, Sumathi Ramaswamy, Raqs Media Collective, Ruth Rosengarten, S.N.S.

War is always, ultimately, fought upon the backs of women, often under the pretense of saving them. Yet, along the way, the brutalities unleashed on women during wartime remain relentless. In this collection, insurgency emerges in the raw and meticulous language of witnessing, and in the desire to render the space of conflict in radically different ways. There are no paeans to courageous soldiers here, nor pat nationalist rhetoric, nor bravado about saving lives. These perspectives on war come out of regions and positions that defy stereotypical war reportage or the expected war story. They disobey the rules of war writing and do not subordinate themselves to the usual themes and tropes that we have become so used to reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eInsurgent Feminisms\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ecomprises reportage, fiction, memoir, poetry and conversations from over sixty writers and includes contributions by Nathalie, Handal, Anne Nivat, Ubah Cristina Ali Farah, Suchitra Vijayan, Chika Unigwe, Bélen Fernández, Uzma Falak, Otoniya Juliane Okot Bitek, Gaiutra Bahadur, Robtel Neajai Pailey, Sumana Roy and Lina Mounzer, among several others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBHAKTI SHRINGARPURE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eco-founded\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eWarscapes\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003emagazine in November 2011 and it has now transitioned into the Radical Books Collective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVERUSKA CANTELLI\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a writer, translator and editor who teaches interdisciplinary studies at Champlain College in Vermont, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Offset Projects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51321151586468,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/2706\/8580\/files\/IMG_8362.heic?v=1777898647"},{"product_id":"andal-the-autobiography-of-a-goddess","title":"Andal: The Autobiography of a Goddess","description":"\u003cp\u003ePriya Sarukkai Chabria, Ravi Shankar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinner of the Muse India Translation Prize (2018), Priya Sarukkai Chabria and Ravi Shankar’s elegant new translations of eighth-century Tamil poet and founding saint Andal, cements her status as the South Indian corollary to Mirabai.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this one volume is her entire corpus, composed before she apocryphally merged with the idol of her chosen god as a young teenager, leaving behind the still popular song of congregational worship, the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThiruppavai\u003c\/i\u003e, a collection of thirty\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003epasuram\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e(stanzas) sung for Lord Tirumal (Vishnu) and the much less frequently translated and rapturously erotic\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eNacchiyar Thirumoli\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChabria and Shankar employ a radical new method of revitalizing classical verse by shifting it into a contemporary poetic idiom in another language.
