Roads, railways and bridges were, in the height of the colonial era, hailed as emblems of modernity. In reality, colonial powers used infrastructures to exert control over their colonies. Today, this history has been sanitised: although colonisation is often condemned, there is still a narrative that sees Britain and other countries as the great exporters of progress, forgetting that progress was instrumental in both propelling the colonial drive whilst maintaining control over the territory. Through the use of archive material, "The Roads are not Innocent" looks at the power of infrastructure in an usual and thought-provoking way.
