    A Happy Man - Tunisia, 2011

    We are now coming upon the 10th anniversary of the wave of uprisings and revolutions that swept the Middle East and North Africa between 2010 and 2012. These uprisings were most vividly transmitted throughout the world not by television or even social media, but in short videos produced by the participants themselves and circulated anonymously on the internet. In The People Are Not an Image, Snowdon explores this radical shift in revolutionary self-representation, showing that the political consequences of these videos cannot be located without reference to their aesthetic form.
