This seminar examines the ways colonial and postcolonial images have shaped perceptions of identity, authority, and resistance in the region. The seminar invites participants to consider how visual forms both construct and contest historical memory, offering critical insights into Southeast Asia’s complex relationship with visuality, power, and postcolonial modernity.
