The September 25th Keynote Speaker is Annu Palakunnathu Matthew, is a Professor of Art at the University of Rhode Island. She  was also the Director of the Center for the Humanities from 2014-2019 and the 2015-17  Silvia Chandley Professor in Peace Studies and Non-violence. Her photo-based work draws on old photographs to re-examine historical narratives in the US  and South Asia. Though trained as a photographer, her work increasingly uses the ever expanding digital toolbox and has moved into installations. The result is a blend of still and  moving imagery that shifts the viewer’s perspective to question established and  marginalized histories.
