PUBLIC TALK

“Potential History”

In this talk, Dr. Azoulay addresses the possibilities that motivate and direct civic actions that critique or supplant without being exhausted by state order. She discusses these issues in relation to two photographic archives she assembled that deal with Israel’s representation of the state and its history.
