In Sensé - Subverting narratives through art and anthropology
International Symposium
The aim of this colloquium is to explore, in theory but above all in practice, subversive forms of narrative at the intersection of art and anthropology, and the way in which audiovisual and artistic practices can convey alternative methods of feeling, thinking, expressing and conceiving narrative worlds and ethnographic experiences from different cultures. The aim is to explore these narrative forms as a means of challenging the norms and ethnocentrism prevalent in mainstream artistic and academic practices.
This symposium will feature the exceptional participation of Professor Christopher Wright (Goldsmith’s University, London), one of the most renowned voices on the links between art and anthropology and on sensory ethnography, who will also accompany us for the evening screening of a surprising and virtually unknown Senegalese film (hors les murs at Friche la Belle de Mai). Christopher Wright’s talk at the Mucem will be followed by a round-table discussion, and the public will then be invited to practice and subvert narratives through creative workshops.
Partners: AMU, Fondation A*MIDEX, FEE (Fabrique des Écritures Ethnographiques), LFKs collective, IMERA
