| description | Between 1991 and 2009, American photographer Susan Meiselas (born 1948), a member of Magnum Photos, collected a photographic archive of the Kurdish people, presenting images, evidence and stories in a book, a travelling exhibition and a participatory website. For twenty years, her project participated in the debates on the role and authority of the photographic document, addressing the critique of photojournalism, reflections on archives and the material turn in anthropological theory. Susan Meiselas transforms each photograph into an object, conveying stories and encounters. She documents the history of Kurdistan, an ideal country gathering a scattered community. Her project participated in the renewal of documentary approaches. It stands today as a pioneering example for participatory and archival practices. |
