In the second workshop on the activation of colonial image collections, questions such as how the potentials and possibilities of media change (remediation) can be described in relation to the decolonisation of photographic collections will be addressed. What potential does remediation offer for the indexing and critical processing of photographic colonial archives? Can historical forms of knowledge production and their media formats (e.g. notebooks, reports, photographs, classifications, etc.) be critically scrutinised with the help of format changes? To what extent do strategies of digital curating and exhibiting lend themselves to this?
