This book is born out of a creative dialogue between a group of academics and artists with the visual stories that we have received in our project Recount Photographic Agora (www.recountphotoaward.org). Recount Photographic Agora invites contributions from people from all walks of life to reflect through visual and textual stories about the diverse roles accounting plays in life. Based on such contributions, we have already organized exhibitions in Scotland, Tunisia, and France, and are planning to organize more exhibitions based on new contributions in Spain and Colombia in the near future. This book bridges disciplinary boundaries between artists and academics, but also between text and image, and crucially between academic knowledge and day to day life experiences. This has led to a joyful and stimulating exercise to collectively reflect on the roles of accounting in life and in our unprecedented ecological, social and political crises, beyond the confines of dry rationality and distant theorization.
