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, 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, works on Kashmir by various artists and
other assorted cultural expressions.
