In the context of the exhibition Y/Our Colonial Gaze the Basler Afrika Bibliographien invites to a workshop with Lorena Rizzo. The discussion will focus on questions relating to colonial photo archives and photographic practice in colonial settings, and the relevance of these for post-colonial visual history/studies. In a first part of the workshop, Lorena Rizzo will present own research positions whilst the second part engages with the exhibition. Lorena Rizzo’s work focuses on (post-) colonial visual histories and culture in southern Africa.  Her current publications include “Policing the Image: the Breakwater prison albums, Cape Town, in the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries” (2016) and contributions to the photo volume “Usakos. Photographs beyond Ruins. The Old Location Albums, 1920s to 1960s” (2015).
