Special Topic: Who am I?: Photography and the Construction of Identity

Description

Considers the camera’s involvement in the construction of identity in global photography and in Aotearoa New Zealand from the 1960s to the present.  Explores photography’s role in representing selfhood at a time when human identities and experiences are increasingly produced and manipulated through the camera’s lens, and distributed via the Internet.
