wE Welcome Sahar Sagha
We warmly welcome Sahar Sagha for a placement at D6 as part of her PhD research. We’re delighted Sahar is spending time with us - a chance to share thinking and ideas, and for Sahar to support our programme at shared points of interest.
Sahar is a PhD candidate at Durham University's School of Modern Languages and Cultures supported by the Northern Bridge Consortium. Her research critically examines how digital platforms like Instagram act as spaces of extraction and as forms of small media - reshaping visual narratives and enabling people to construct visual dialogues that bond them more emotionally to each other during protests. Grounded in photography, media and communication, visual culture, and emotions, she explores how images mediate meaning and collective memory.
Earlier in the summer, Sahar gave invaluable support producing our Contested Desires exhibition at Newcastle's The Great North Museum: Hancock.
We’re looking forward to working with Sahar over the next few months and exploring ways to share what comes of the collaboration.
Thanks to the Northern Bridge Consortium, Durham University, Professor Jonathan Long and Professor Mariann Hardey for supporting the placement.
