SUMMARY:COLONIAL VIEWS OF INDIA EXHIBITION CURATOR TALK With Professor Mallica Kumbera La
DESCRIPTION:Wed 7 Oct 2026\, 2–3pm\n\n\n\n\nAt the Museum and Online\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis talk takes place in person in the Headley Lecture Theatre and online via Zoom \nTickets are £10. Booking is essential \nBook tickets below \n  \n\nWith Mallica Kumbera Landrus\, exhibition curator and Professor and Keeper of Eastern Art\, Curator of Indian\, Himalayan and Southeast Asian Art \nJoin Mallica for a talk about the Colonial Views of India: Photographs by Eugene Clutterbuck Impey exhibition\, which offers a rare glimpse of 19th-century India captured through the lens of British colonial officer Eugene Clutterbuck Impey (1830–1904). \nA member of the East India Company\, Impey arrived in India in 1851 and took part in military actions during the Indian Uprising of 1857. After the British Crown took control in 1858 following the Uprising\, he worked as a political agent until returning to Britain in 1878. He spent the rest of his years in Oxford. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n \nSeated girl\, 1858-1865 \n\n\n\n\n\n \nSepia photo of Qutub tower \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nImpey’s photographs reflect British imperial interests\, showcasing portraits of colonial officers and Indians\, as well as staged scenes of daily life\, clothing\, religious sites\, animals\, and landscapes. \nThese images often reinforced stereotypes with the aim to justify colonial efforts. Photography\, which gained popularity after its debut in 1839\, was used to highlight cultural differences. From the mid-1800s British officials documented various social groups in India\, often categorising people by ethnicity. \nThis is the first exhibition to focus on photographs and negatives in the Ashmolean\, and as such features previously unseen photographs of India by Impey. \nThis event is part of our Love & Legacy season of events. \n\nBOOKING\nThe in-person tour takes place in the Headley Lecture Theatre and the online talk is via Zoom \nTickets are £10.
