In the summer of 1963, a group of Northern European artists known as the Scandinavian Bauhaus Situationists – or Drakabygget, named after the farm in southern Sweden where the group was based – mounted an exhibition entitled Drakabyggarna, at the Galerie St. Nicolaus in Vejbystrand, Sweden (Fig. 1). Although scant information exists regarding the specific works on display, it consisted largely of expressionist paintings, drawings, and collages.1 Yet, on a warm summer evening in August 1965, the same group of artists paraded through the Strøget, Copenhagen’s high street, accompanied by the Danish folk musicians Caesar and Paul Dissing, who performed as part of a spectacle featuring between 80 and 300 folk singers, as thousands of people danced and sang in the streets around them. Sadly, scant visual records exist documenting the event – referred to as ‘the Situationist life, song and love’, and it came to an end when local authorities arrived to shut down the eruption of public revelry.2

In Raw Histories, her 2001 compendium of essays on photography, anthropologist Elizabeth Edwards writes of the layers of historical significance and meaning that colonial photographs bear. She elaborates: During the hours, days and months spent in many places, working with photographs … I have talked to people looking for ‘history’. This history has been both the actuality of evidential inscription, and their own particular ‘realities’. They are looking for their own history or someone else’s history, for the history of their discipline, or confronting the nature of their colonial past, both the colonised and the colonisers; people looking for their ancestors, people making, re-making or even imagining histories.1 Edwards succinctly gestures towards the many stakeholders of the colonial photographs: museum professionals, historians and anthropologists, but equally the descendants of the subjects of these images who find traces of themselves in imperial archives. The passage refers to efforts to prize alternative histories away from dominant narratives of colonial vision and its encyclopedic logic. It also refers to ongoing efforts to bestow personhood, lineage, and afterlife to the sitters of imperial images, the majority of whom were photographed in the context of great asymmetries of power. These alternative practices of reading photographs against the grain as a way of resuscitating Indigenous-centred narratives do not as often make it to the page. In the immense wealth of scholarship that colonial photography has generated, from studies that centre the performance of savagery to the development of exoticist codes, to the efforts of colonial officers to produce encyclopedic albums, literature concerning Indigenous revisions and interventions in the material as a means of challenging colonial epistemologies is less prominent.2 This begs the question: has the dominant literature in this area facilitated enough of a shift in methodologies to prioritise the non-colonial, entangled histories of these photographs? How can archival and art historical method be transformed to accommodate narratives of the photographed?
