| THEN & NOW |

A lot has changed for some and yet nothing for others. ‘THEN & NOW’ is an attempt to visually dissect or connect the similarities that have occurred over the decades in Pakistan.

The idea for this project is to stimulate people to dig out old images from their family albums and connect them to present ones. This will create a visual dialogue of times between the images; one created and the other inherited.

Submission deadline: April 1st, 2009

Open to all submissions for a photography exhibition at the 2009 Shanaakht Festival organized by the Citizens Archive of Pakistan at the Arts Council & curated by Amean J.

Festival Dates: April 8^th – 12^th, 2009

What to Enter

Old photographs not only tell us stories but also educate us to identify who we are. We would like to you delve into your old family photo albums and identify images that may be of great importance to you or your family; it could be of a place, a person, an event or even an object that you have memories of or has influenced your life. Please note: We are especially interested in photographs from the 1940s until the 1970s.

We would like to you re-visit the space, photograph the person [if alive] or the object in present times to bridge or identify the time that has lapsed over the years.

Please make sure old and newer images both have enough information to identify the changes that may or may not have occurred.

The submission of entries acknowledges the right of the Citizens Archive of Pakistan to use them for publication and exhibition.

Due to limited space at the gallery all photographs submitted may not be exhibited. The Citizens Archive of Pakistan and Amean J will shortlist the most powerful pairs.
