Field/works: kaleidoscopic activities between anthropology and art. [Exhibition]

Abstract

For anthropologists and artists "doing fieldwork" in contemporary worlds, art can be much more than an object of investigation. Curation and creation through visual, audio, or performing arts are at the heart of our work, extending the established anthropological interest in writing as a medium of thought and knowledge sharing. Our exhibition invited and presented works by anthropologists and artists who break disciplinary boundaries, and whose practice foregrounds experimental and open approaches to the theme "field/works". Curated by Jennifer Clarke, Anna Laine and Maxime Le Calvé, and in collaboration with Fernando Dias and Jorge dos Reis, this exhibition was initiated by the Anthropology and the Arts Network (ANTART), part of the European Association of Social Anthropologists / Association Européenne des Anthropologues Sociaux (EASA). The exhibition was funded by EASA. It originated from the 2020 EASA conference at the University of Lisbon and was initially meant to be a physical exhibition, but transitioned into an online exhibition in July 2020.
