Zinnia Naqvi’s "Biscuits and Empire" @ Museum London

À propos

In Biscuits and Empire: Reframing Colonial Photography, biscuits, photographs, and popular culture converge in an installation that traces unexpected links between everyday objects and imperial histories. Colonial images of British India from Museum London’s collection reveal how industry, photography, and power once travelled together, while Zinnia Naqvi’s work Heart-shaped Box offers an intimate counterpoint grounded in self-representation and lived experience. Moving between archive and home video, the installation unsettles familiar ways of seeing, opening space for complexity, contradiction, and reimagined narratives beyond the colonial frame.
