Kashmir
 |
Videography as a primary form of information in
India seems to have roughly coincided with the
beginnings of sustained violence in the Kashmir
Valley, some 18 years ago. We have developed an
eclectic collection that not only foregrounds
different representations of Kashmir at the time of
video but also includes traces of local productions
and collections from within Kashmir which offer
enabling insights into discourses on conflict,
broadcast and multiple (sometimes competing) domains
of public culture.
Our collection includes a large number of still
photographs of various realities of Kashmir in the
'90s by independent photographers, copies of Kashmir
Times since early ‘90s, rushes of Saeed Mirza's
renowned television series A Tryst with the People
of India (1997), rushes from Pankaj Rishi Kumar's
Pather Chujaeri (2001), short films made for
Doordarshan in the 90s, mainstream television news,
mainstream and alternative films from both side of
the borders, recordings of various public events,
campaign material of civil society movements, works
on Kashmir by various artists and other assorted
cultural expressions.
The collection is available at Majlis office and
accessible for viewing on prior appointment.

eminent artists, filmmakers, scholars as well as some post graduate
students.
