Cosmopolemos [Embedded]
7 November 2025
A conversation and audience questions, followed by drinks, led by Dr. Andrew Dougall from Pembroke College, with Edmund Clark, and Harriet Logan from the Incite Project, to mark Cosmopolemos’s first public presentation. The event took place at Pichette Auditorium and JCR Art Gallery, Pembroke College.
Cosmopolemos, a long term project in collaboration with Crofton Black. The project is an exploration of knowledge and meaning in relation to an overwhelming edifice of power: the $6.5 trillion worth of contracts issued by the US Defense Department to the private sector between the 9/11 attacks and the American withdrawal from Afghanistan 20 years later.
[Embedded] comprises a selection — by Katy Barron, PhotoOxford Director, and Edmund Clark — of images from the Incite Project made between 9/11 and the evacuation of Kabul, including by photojournalists embedded with the US military in Afghanistan and Iraq.
