with Kelann Currie-Williams and Lea Kabiljo
Cet événement réunit Lea Kabiljo et Kelann Currie-Williams, praticiennes d’histoire orale et photographes, qui utilisent l’approche multidimensionnelle de “l’entrevue-photo’’ dans leur travail respectif. Nous inviterons les participant.es à réfléchir sur la relation entre les images et la narration dans le cadre de l’entrevue d’histoire orale. Quels sont les avantages et les tensions liés à la combinaison de l’histoire orale et de la photographie en tant que méthodologie d’entrevue ? Comment les photographies et les albums photos transforment-ils l’espace de l’entrevue et aident-ils les interviewés à se souvenir différemment ? À travers des ateliers et des discussions, nous partagerons différentes approches pour intégrer la photographie dans les entrevues d’histoire orale – qu’il s’agisse d’introduire des photographies existantes dans l’entrevue ou de capturer des portraits des interviewés.
