A Reflection of Ancient Practices

Date: 21 August 2025

Location: Online via Zoom
When Indonesia proclaimed its independence in 1945, the inhabitants of this vast archipelago characterized by a profusion of religions, languages, and cultures had little in common with each other beyond a desire to throw off the yoke of colonial rule. Professor Strassler will discuss how popular photographic practices enabled a diverse collection of people in Indonesia to begin to see themselves as modern Indonesians.
