"Being Seen Listening: Sound Politics in African Photography"
This lecture examines how sound technologies and photography mutually mediated ordinary engagements with struggles for decolonization in Africa during the mid-twentieth century. Focused on a corpus of photographs, ranging from documentary images to studio portraiture, Byrd explores the art historical stakes of being seen listening during situated moments of political change.
