| Summary: | "The spring 2024 issue, “Counter Histories,” is produced in collaboration with Magnum Foundation and features photographers from around the world who reframe complex histories."--Provided by publisher.
"What could an archive of the future look like? What creative possibilities are offered by the gaps, absences, and silences in historical records? How can artists engage with histories that weren't photographed? How can found images contribute to a fuller understanding of the past, present, and future? These are some of the questions that were proposed by Magnum Foundation, our partners for this issue, informed by their ongoing Counter Histories grant initiative, which supports projects that creatively reframe the past to engage with urgent questions of the present. Here, a broad range of artists contribute stories that meld the personal and the political, through both archival research and original photography. ... Family and community are as essential here as politics and memory. ... The photographers in Counter Histories find the gaps in image records and create their own narratives in response."--Editors' note (page 33)
