Historical and archive photography plays a significant role in contemporary art, serving as both a source of inspiration and a medium for commentary on society, culture, and history. Artists engage with historical photography to explore themes of memory, identity, and the passage of time. By invoking the past, they create dialogues with contemporary issues, raising questions about how history shapes our understanding of the present. Archival materials are incorporated to question the authenticity of historical narratives and challenge dominant historical discourses.
