Sukanya Ghosh, from the series Journal, mixed media, 2016

From Sukanya Ghosh’s family archive. With the use images from her family archive, sometimes of unknown provenance, she de-contextualises the original works in order to create an alternative narrative thread. 

With our recently launched online fora—Pix Posts— we have been sharing the perspectives of practicing photographers, curators, and writers, exploring varied aspects of photography in South Asia through an assortment of social, political, and personal points of view.  We are happy to feature written articles, audio interviews, or even video submissions on family archives and local histories or even critical viewpoints about ongoing events of interest, in order to unearth the evolving narrative and trends around photography/image-making as well as its reception and curation. We are extendedly interested in events and conventions through which the discourse around photography in South Asia is exponentially growing—including exhibitions, lectures, workshops, and even publications: whether they be personal productions, independent articles and university press editions.
