Abstract

This article provides an overview of the March 2026 issue of Afterimage, highlighting its main focus on contemporary art and documentary practices in relation to social and political themes. It features reports on the inaugural Bukhara Biennial, which explored healing through collaborative art, and profiles of photographers Branko Lenart and Jarod Lew, who engage with political upheaval and Asian American identity, respectively. The issue includes research articles on American documentary film’s resistance to neoliberalism, psychoanalytic approaches to Korean diasporic art, and comparisons of celluloid and digital filmmaking materialities. Additionally, it reviews exhibitions addressing cultural narratives and a book on Kartemquin Films, a documentary company known for challenging conventional US documentary tropes.
