A series of participatory workshops with undergraduate students on using visual primary material like images, artefacts and ephemera to expand the representation and memorialisation of significant historical events, through a curated selection of postcards on Indian soldiers in the First World War from the DAG collection.

Over the course of the workshop days, students engage with the process of image-making by sharing their engagement with the archival material and research in the form of photobooks. This 4-day (12-hour) archival learning programme, spread across a period of 8-10 days, comprises of interactive workshops with a core-group of 30 students from humanities disciplines conducted by the DAG team.

The workshops involve activities such as close-looking at visual sources, learning the steps of archival research, and close reading of critical texts among other modes of engagement. We also collaborate with academics, visual artists and archivists to incorporate guest presentations to enrich this art-integrated module.
