Abstract:
Understanding imagination as a performative political action, and therefore as an action that requires training, is at the centre of this paper. Bridging Memory is an activist intervention in which body-sized photographs of refugees living today in a refugee camp were posted by activists in the place from which they were expelled. The analysis of the project demonstrates the centrality of memory and activism in training a political imagination. Furthermore, this case study illustrates how expanding the limits of the imagination through photography, articulating the ‘right of return’ as part of ‘the right to have rights’ can help isualise the return of refugees to their homes.
