CAMERA AS CULTURAL CRITIQUE
May 24, 2016 § Leave a comment
In this conference we investigate the potential of visual media to convey and respond to existing as well as emerging social realities. We aim to contribute to an interdisciplinary field of research and practice that includes anthropology, philosophy and visual art. The visual media we wish to discuss range from photography and film to digital media, audio-visual installations and exhibitions.

This four-year research initiative (2013-2016) investigates the potential of using visual technologies and methodologies in social science research in practice.
