Title: Where Grief Takes Form: Ritual, Image, and the Work of Mourning
Abstract: This panel examines grief not as a single emotion but as a set of practices through which loss unfolds across time, ritual, and material processes. Bringing together a psychoanalytic and decolonial reading of iddat in Pakistan with a visual inquiry into cyanotype as mourning, the session asks how grief is lived, structured, and made visible beyond interior feeling. One paper reads iddat as a ritualized temporality of waiting, repetition, and regulation, where loss is held and reworked within gendered frameworks. The second approaches cyanotype as an archival, embodied practice through which grief emerges slowly across generations and sustains memory through material traces.
