A British-born artist heavily influenced by multiculturalism and cultural diversity, Mahtab Hussain uses photography to investigate the dynamic relationship between identity, heritage and displacement. This book presents photographs taken by Hussain in Kashmir during research for his residency on Ikon Gallery's Slow Boat in 2016.
The book offers an in-depth analysis of conservation efforts during the Nazi regime, exploring how environmental policies intertwined with the political and ideological frameworks of the time. It examines the motivations behind conservation initiatives, the impact on landscapes and wildlife, and the role of key figures and organizations. By highlighting the complexities of ecological policies under a totalitarian government, it sheds light on the often-overlooked intersection of environmentalism and authoritarianism in history.
