Scholars from 15 different countries will examine entanglements of visual cultures with memory, identity, gender, technology, and truth-making at this online conference. It will be a day to reflect on research objects, methods and interdisciplinarity in visual social research. How do visual cultures both reflect and challenge the deepening crisis of trust in democratic, scientific, and journalistic institutions? What roles do AI-generated images and deepfakes play in amplifying or destabilising collective perception? How do images, visual narratives, and aesthetic practices participate in shaping collective experiences, identities, and histories? In what ways do visual cultures and regimes (re)mediate but also disrupt collective memories, ideologies and identities? What methodological innovations are needed to “see through” complexity in our research?
