Looking Together: International Workshop in Visual History and Theory, 2026.

The CHR will be hosting its annual International Workshop in Visual History & Theory at Iyatsiba Lab on 16-17 October 2026, in partnership with Université-Paris-8, on the theme of 'Looking Together.' Migration, solidarity and mobility across time and space are key themes.

A keynote lecture by Zeynep Gürsel will address border surveillance photography, and artist Raphael Grisey will introduce the Bouba Touré archive that engages with migrant life between France and Mali. Several panels and roundtables explore new ways of looking.
