Event overview
A seminar and conversation with Vikki Bell (Professor of Sociology)
Marcelo Brodsky is a photographer and human rights activist now based in Buenos Aires, after many years in exile in Barcelona. His early photographic works focus on the politics of memory and the memory of political activism in Argentina. Among them is Buena memoria – a project that mixes photography, writing, and video–dealing with the ghostly traces of a high-school class and its disappeared members during and after the last Argentine dictatorship. He is a member of the Commission for the Monument to the Victims of State Terrorism, Buenos Aires, and on the Board of Directors of Buena Memoria, a non-governmental organization dedicated to human rights work in Argentina. He runs the Latinstock photography agency and network.
Vikki Bell is author of The Art of Post-Dictatorship: Ethics and Aesthetics in Transitional Argentina (Glasshouse/Routledge, 2014) and many academic articles including 'On Fernando's Photograph' (Theory, Culture & Society' Vol 27, 2010) an essay about the life of a photograph of Marcelo's brother Fernando, who remains disappeared.
