What creative possibilities are offered by the gaps, absences, and silences in historical records? This conversation brings together artists featured in the spring 2024 issue of Aperture magazine, produced in collaboration with Magnum Foundation, “Counter Histories”-Abdo Shanan, Cédrine Scheidig, and Lindokuhle Sobekwa, moderated by senior editor Brendan Embser. From building a speculative archive about citizens in Algeria to engaging with legacies of the African diaspora, these photographers question dominant historical narratives as they create layered portrayals of place, culture, and community.
