Symposium—Camera South Asia: Between Origins and Elsewheres
Join us at ICP for Camera South Asia: Between Origins and Elsewhere, an all-day symposium. Marking the bicentennial of photography, Camera South Asia revisits the question of origins by treating it as both spatial and temporal. Rather than returning to stories of invention or singular beginnings, the symposium turns to movement—circulation, transit, displacement, and dissonance—as a constitutive force in the life of images. We take New York as our point of reference—a city shaped by diasporic aspiration and uneven arrival—and approach South Asia not as a fixed geography, but as a field marked by itineraries of migration.
