As we struggle to find support to preserve analogue photographic materials, digital images become a more prevalent part of our daily lives. This calls for a revision of processes, methodologies, and even the ethical principles of cultural heritage professionals working with photograph collections.
Even though there is no doubt about its cultural value and communication power, we need to reflect on the definition of photography, as it is still typically associated with technical concepts that are no longer fully applicable to digital-born photographs.
This one-day symposium invites you to take part in a series of lectures and discussions around the concept of photography, its evolution, and how it affects different stakeholders.
