Sri Lanka's experience of war and the tensions in its aftermath were actively narrated by way of photography. Since the 1980s, the island's visual identity has been framed as a paradise-under-siege. What does popular photography reveal about experiences of conflict and post-war political articulation? On this episode, we speak with Dr. Vindhya Buthpitiya, from the University College London, whose research explores popular photographic practices among members of the Northern Tamil community, by examining the relationship between photography, conflict, and the expression of political sentiments in the post-war context. Please follow Dr Buthpitiya at @vindib_ to learn more about her interesting work.
