Conference Registration: Light and Darkness: Imaging the Night in the British Empire

Join us for a two-day conference exploring how British imperialism mobilised light as a metaphor for enlightenment and control while casting the colonial night as a space of otherness, fear, and disorder. Grounded in visual culture and supported by intersecting representational forms that inform and extend its visual regimes, this event examines how depictions of night shaped and legitimised imperial narratives, and how these narratives were, and continue to be, challenged through decolonial or counter-visual practices.

The event will take place in person; however, remote participation may be arranged for attendees based outside the UK or those with exceptional circumstances that prevent in-person attendance. If you wish to attend online, please contact Dr Manila Castoro at mcastoro@brookes.ac.uk.To register and view the schedule, see https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/light-and-darkness-imaging-the-night-in-the-british-empire-tickets-1389662470859?aff=oddtdtcreator
