Ways of seeing the penal colony: New Caledonia and French Guiana / Façons de voir le bagne: la Guyane et la Nouvelle-Calédonie


(online), London, UK

Organisation: Dept of Digital Humanities - King's College London

The series of 15 digital collages explores overseas sites of the former French penal colonies – known collectively as the bagne – and uses digital photography and collage to offer new ‘ways of seeing’ these rich and varied places.
This work comes out of postdoctoral research carried out as part of ‘Postcards from the bagne: tourism in the shadow of France’s overseas penal history’ (@postcards_bagne), a research project led by Dr Sophie Fuggle (@fuggbug) and funded by the UK’s Arts and Humanities Research Council.
