MEG/J.Watts

A photograph is never neutral or objective. Rather, it tells the story of a particular, situated way of looking at the world. Using MEG's past and present photographic archives as a starting point, this workshop invites you to question the ways in which we see and "make see" the people and objects represented in these images.
This workshop combines presentation, discussion and practice, and is led by MEG photographer Johnathan Watts.
The first part of the workshop is dedicated to the ethnographic and colonial gaze present in MEG's archives and museum practice in the broadest sense, and to works that question or denounce this "colonial gaze". Secondly, you will have the opportunity to propose interventions or reinterpretations on archive images during a workshop. Finally, you'll go behind the scenes of MEG's photographic studio to reinterpret the current practice of museum photography.

Speakers: Johnathan Watts, MEG photographer, and a MEG cultural mediator
The workshop is free of charge, and booking is compulsory by e-mail to publics.meg@ville-ge.ch

Avertissement : Some of the photographs in this workshop contain racist and discriminatory images.
