These missions, which routinely dismissed the role and knowledge of local communities, came to shape the historical narrative of ancient civilizations and modern people. In Iraq, home to renowned sites such as Babylon, Dur-Kurigalzu, Ctesiphon, Hatra, and Samarra, foreign excavations appropriated ancient cultures and influenced how they were interpreted and transmitted. And these excavations still reverberate today in understandings of Iraqi identity. Centered around the images of pioneering Iraqi photographer Latif Al Ani (1932–2021), Through the Lens: Latif Al Ani’s Visions of Ancient Iraq highlights the voices of those who explored the Iraqi past and the deeply personal stories of those who confront its legacy, challenging the Western colonial narrative that has dominated for centuries. The companion volume to an exhibition at New York University’s Institute for the Study of the Ancient World, the book features archival documents, lithographs, 1960s photography, essays that explore the rich history of ancient and modern Iraq, and the work and personal accounts of five contemporary Iraqi artists who reflect on the complex issues of Iraqi cultural identity and heritage | |

And these excavations still reverberate today in understandings of Iraqi identity. Centered around the images of pioneering Iraqi photographer Latif Al Ani (1932–2021), Through the Lens: Latif Al Ani’s Visions of Ancient Iraq highlights the voices of those who explored the Iraqi past and the deeply personal stories of those who confront its legacy, challenging the Western colonial narrative that has dominated for centuries. The companion volume to an exhibition at New York University’s Institute for the Study of the Ancient World, the book features archival documents, lithographs, 1960s photography, essays that explore the rich history of ancient and modern Iraq, and the work and personal accounts of five contemporary Iraqi artists who reflect on the complex issues of Iraqi cultural identity and heritage ʻĀnī, Laṭīf 1932-2021 (DE-588)1134997752 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Fotografie (DE-588)4045895-7 gnd rswk-swf Archäologie (DE-588)4002827-6 gnd rswk-swf Irak (DE-588)4072920-5 gnd rswk-swf ʻĀnī, Laṭīf / Exhibitions Photography / Iraq / Exhibitions Art, Iraqi / Exhibitions Archaeology / Iraq / Exhibitions Art irakien / Expositions Archéologie / Irak / Expositions (DE-588)4135467-9 Ausstellungskatalog Institute for the Study of the Ancient World 08.11.2023-25.02.2024 New York, NY gnd-content ʻĀnī, Laṭīf 1932-2021 (DE-588)1134997752 p Irak (DE-588)4072920-5 g Fotografie (DE-588)4045895-7 s Archäologie (DE-588)4002827-6 s Geschichte z DE-604 Azara Nicolás, Pedro 1955- (DE-588)12207677X edt Abidin, Adel 1973- (DE-588)137673922 aut ʻĀnī, Laṭīf 1932-2021 (DE-588)1134997752 pht New York University Institute for the Study of the Ancient World (DE-588)16064297-8 isb his Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=034960606&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
