Cosmopolitics of the Camera _ Albert Kahn's Archives of the Planet

I promise you, this is interesting. Albert Kahn, who you likely have never heard of, was an early pioneer of globalization. In 1909, millionaire French banker and philanthropist [🛎] Albert Kahn decided to enlist the era's burgeoning photographic technology to produce a color photographic record of human life on Earth as a way of promoting peace and fostering cross-cultural understanding.

For Kahn, photography was a way of cataloging the human "tribes" of the world and constructing a vibrant, colorful quilt of our shared humanity. The goal of the project 1:01 was that “widely shared feelings and ideas should be drawn by the elites of different countries into the pool of global experience shared by them fathering the rise of … ‘the international mind’.” Watch to learn more about him, his projects and his connections to other bankers and elites that you *do* know about. 5:03
