Autograph ABP: Algerian Disappeared
The Disappeared of Algeria, Anthony Downey discusses states of exception and Giorgio Agamben
Documenting Disappearance: Algeria, state terrorism and the photographic image.
London Scool of Economics 15 May 2008
Autograph ABP in association with The Centre for the Study of Human Rights at the London School of Economics presented:
Documenting Disapperance
Taking as its starting point Omar D's book of photographs, Devoir de memoire/A Biography of Disappearance, Algeria 1992-, commissioned and edited by Autograph BHP, this event examines what happens when the apparatus of a state is turned on its own citizens. It asks how we can disseminate the truth about events that are officially denied or obfuscated by the legal system, how to lobby for the application of UN resolutions on forced disappearances and whether human rights organisations can overcome pot-colonial and economic interests. Can imagery be more potent than text in bringing human rights issues into public knowledge? can we talk of a politics of aesthetics in the context of subjects who have been stripped of their civil existence? How can the invisible be made visible?
