Photo Impulse project organizes a series of webinars to reflect on the construction of knowledge and the concepts mobilized through the images produced and put to circulation by various agents of the formerempires, focusing particularly in the Portuguese case, but also in the British and French cases. We try to think of decolonial ways to approach this visual archive.
The program continues on October 27, at 2:30 pm, with a talk from the project consultant, Professor Joseph Tonda from the University of Omar Bongo, in Libreville, Gabon. Professor Tonda will address the topic “Ombres et images-écrans de la colonisation”, in a session spoken in French, accessible via https://videoconf-colibri.zoom.us/j/82908483525?pwd=dUwzcE5KRTVNR3BmYTdtQmUvZkFtUT09.
