Understanding the World of Images with Sohrab Hura

In this episode I continue my conversation with Sohrab Hura and explore the profound impact of images on our memories, emotions, society, politics and perceptions of reality. We talk about how curated and manipulated photos on social media shape our understanding of the world and our place within it. Our guest, Sohrab Hura, a distinguished photographer and painter, joins us to discuss the power of images, both beautiful and haunting. He shares his journey from photography to painting, driven by a desire to tell stories that challenge the idealized narratives we often encounter. Through this conversation, we explore the deeper implications of how images influence not just our personal memories but also our collective understanding of history, politics, society, and human rights. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion that spans the emotional depth of personal memories captured in photographs to the broader societal issues that images can both reveal and obscure.
