Discussion: Everyone is Present by Terry Kurgan (February 14)

In Everyone is Present, Terry Kurgan begins with a family snapshot made by her Polish grandfather in 1939 on the eve of the war.

Presenting this evocative image as a repository of multiple histories - public, private, domestic, familial and generational - she sets off on a series of meditations on photography that give us startling insights into how photographs work: what they conceal, how they mislead, what provocations they contain.

Join Kurgan for a discussion on her remarkable monograph with Pamila Gupta, Sarah Nuttall and Hlonipha Mokoena.
