" The spectacle creates an eternal present of immediate expectations: memory ceases to be necessary or desirable. With the loss of memory the continuities of meaning and judgement are also lost to us. The camera relives us of the burden of memory. It surveys us like God, and it surveys for us. Yet no other god has been so cynical, for the camera records in order to forget.
Susan Sontag locates this god very clearly in history. He is the god of monopoly capitalism."
John Berger, About Looking

Is there an alternative to the objectifying eye of monopoly capitalism?
We in Didaar are looking for that alternative.
We want to confiscate the camera from capitalism for the service of justice.
We are looking for that frame which will be the weapon of the subaltern. That weapon which will help us to sustain our memory. That weapon which will redeem us from the chaos of monopoly capitalism.
