Traces of India: Photography, Architecture, and the Politics of Representation 16 OCTOBER, 2003 — 11 JANUARY, 2004 Visitors to this exhibition were able to explore some of the greatest architectural sites in South Asia through the eyes of nineteenth-century travelers, British military officers, and professional photographers. Traces of India presented more than 200 superb photographs taken in the context of the British colonial era. The exhibition weaveed various narratives around major sites of Indian history to show the temporal and interpretive nature of photography in British India. Along with the nineteenth-century photographs of historic monuments, a fascinating selection of images from popular culture such as postcards, posters, political ephemera, and Bollywood film clips, were on view. This exhibition offered a journey from the colonial to the post-colonial period and considered the meaning of India's national heritage in the context of this cross-cultural view of architecture. Traces of India was organized by Maria Antonella Pelizzari, Lecturer in Photography at Concordia University and former Associate Curator, Photographs Collection, Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montral, and designed by ROY.
