Panel 76: Visualising Migration, Exclusion, and Representation in South Africa (Loren Landau)

Panel Organiser: Loren Landau

The use of photography and video generates new possibilities for representing and reshaping social and spatial relations. This panel explores four migrant populations in South Africa and what it reveals about the nature of representation and exclusion, It also speaks about alternative ways of generating knowledge about groups that would otherwise remain both socially and analytically marginal.
