About this listen

How does photography bear witness in times of conflict? Filmmaker and writer Sanjay Kak engages with Menaka Rodriguez, Executive Director at IFA. They speak about his IFA-supported project that traces three decades of photojournalism in Kashmir through the journeys of nine Kashmiri photographers. The conversation reflects on cultural silence, memory, and the visual language of resistance in a region marked by long-standing conflict. Sanjay shares insights into the making of the photobook Witness: Kashmir 1986–2016 / Nine Photographers, and explores how the act of witnessing through a camera becomes a form of storytelling, testimony, and cultural practice.
