As part of the VII Foundation’s stunning exhibition Monumental, Professor Jonathan Long was invited to speak on a panel exploring photography, nationalism and colonialism.
The exhibition, Monumental, brings together Tomas van Houtryve’s work Notre Dame After the Fire, and Ziyah Gafic’s Dome of the Rock. Also on the panel were the two photographers and the artist and academic Sary Zananiri.
