TfC Annual Lecture: Prof. Christopher Pinney
The Transforming Cultures Annual Public Lecture this year will be  
presented by Prof. Christopher Pinney (Professor of Anthropology and  
Visual Culture, University College London, currently Visiting Crowe  
Professor, Department of Art History, Northwestern University, USA).

His research interests cover the art and visual culture of South Asia  
with a particular focus on the history of photography and  
chromolithography in India.

Prof. Christopher Pinney’s TfC Annual Public Lecture is entitled:


Photography and the Transformation of Culture

Abstract:
Was photography in India simply a a void, waiting to be filled by pre- 
exisiting cultural and historical practice? Or was it disruptive,  
throwing up new opportunities, prophesying new social formations, and  
focusing anxieties about the new visibility of formerly secluded  
spaces and events? And what does the study of a global technical  
practice such as photography tell us about how we might conceptualise  
’culture’?


Date: Wednesday, 17th September, 6:00 (for drinks at the UTS Gallery  
and a chance to see The Game of Places exhibition),
7pm start
Venue: UTS Building 2, Lecture Room 4.11 g.b

"A few hours’ mountain climbing turns a rogue and a saint into two  
roughly equal creatures. Weariness is the shortest path to equality  
and fraternity — and liberty is finally added by sleep." (Nietzsche)
