What should be done with photographs that carry a troubling past? This Table Talk looks at colonial photography from Algeria and asks whether such images should be preserved, shown, reinterpreted or set aside altogether.
Art historian and curator Dr Taous R. Dahmani explores how these pictures continue to shape our memory and our ideas about gender, race and identity, long after the circumstances in which they were made have changed. Artists Nivikka Andersen and Erdal Bilici take part in the conversation, which considers the ethical dilemmas of working today with images made under unequal power relations.
The event is the third and final Table Talk by FOTO STUDIO, held alongside the exhibition Young Danish Photography '26. The format is informal and non-hierarchical: everyone is invited to listen, ask questions and bring their own perspective, whether or not they know much about photography.
