Ellen Winner, An Uneasy Guest in the Schoolhouse
When Photographs Fail, When Monuments Fall
Photography was an instrumental tool in Canada’s Indian Residential School system throughout the first half of the twentieth century, used by the government to promote, obscure, reveal, and conceal the violence directed at Indigenous children in state care. Though these static images—designed to contain their children subjects—failed to rouse civic intervention at the time, they are being revisited in the present as documents of a settler colonia…
Race, Climate Change and the Photographic Negative in Richard Mosse’s Heat Maps
How might the production, transference and registration of heat allow us to see mass displacement differently? Through a close reading of Richard Mosse’s series, Heat Maps (2016) – which uses a heat-sensitive, military grade surveillance camera to capture refugees in camps and detention centres in and around the Mediterranean – this article considers heat as a byproduct of colonialism, and as an elemental force driving global displacement. While …
Settler colonialism’s container technologies
Wooden crates are a recurring subject in the visual archive of settler colonialism in Canada’s Arctic, appearing on the shores of eastern Baffin Island throughout the first half of the twentieth century. Reading some of the hundreds of photographs that appear in the holdings of Library and Archives Canada in Ottawa, this essay charts the symbolic and political work that crates performed in the settler colonial imaginary. It draws on David L. Eng’…
Familial ties and citizen claims
This paper examines the visual cultures of early civil rights activism in Canada in the period following the enactment of the country’s first citizenship laws in 1947. It does so through a close study of the use of family photographs in The Clarion (1946–49), an African-Canadian–owned Atlantic newspaper which regularly reprinted family photographs on its front cover and within its pages, alongside reports on racial discrimination, calls for polit…
School Photos in Liquid Time
School photographs abound in the history of photography, but are rarely the object of study for photography theorists. Categorized alongside other banal and formally repetitive forms of portraiture
The Arts, Environmental Justice, and the Ecological Crisis
No Looking After the Internet
What are the possibilities of learning from difficult images in an era in which digital technologies have made photographs of social violence ubiquitous? This article critically reflects on this question through an account of the curatorial experiments, dialogic contests and pedagogical failures encountered in organizing No Looking After the Internet: a “looking group” that has met since 2012 which invites participants to look at an image (or a s…
Photographing Imperial Citizenship
This article traces one of the first attempts at photographing citizenship by examining some of the 7600 images produced for the Colonial Office Visual Instruction Committee’s lanternslide scheme, a series of geography lectures documenting the land and peoples of the British Empire that circulated in classrooms around the world between 1902 and 1945. This unusual government project brought together imperial propaganda and visual instruction to te…

The Flood of Rights 1
Phantasmagoric Places
Stan Douglas's Every Building on 100 West Hastings (2001) represents a seamless panorama of one block of the Downtown Eastside in Vancouver, a neighborhood known as “the poorest postal code in Canada.” By documenting the block in detail, 100 West Hastings functions as critique in its local viewing context by focusing on a discrepancy in the triumphalist narrative of global capitalism; while the rest of Vancouver has recovered from deindustrializa…
