In this 2-hour seminar, we will explore how fieldwork and ethnographic research can be transformed into compelling visual stories. We will uncover hidden memories, contested histories, and acts of resistance that challenge mainstream narratives.
Through the power of filmmaking, this session will help you feel—not just understand—the complex layers of history, trauma, and transformation. Whether you are a filmmaker, artist, activist, anthropologist, historian, academic, or simply curious, this seminar invites you to discover the transformative potential of storytelling rooted in real-life collective memories.
