a multimedia archive upcoming
Constructed in parallel with the development of the installation, scheduled for presentation in November 2025, this archive will encompass interview recordings with my participants, footage of Goan daily life and encounters with interlocutors, as well as photographs of varied nature. Sharing and navigating this material after the completion of the thesis responds to Collins, Durrington, and Gill’s (2017, 143) call for a multimodal anthropology that “refocuses our attention on these pre- and post-fieldwork encounters, compelling us to follow these complex networks back through the various collaborations and reciprocities that make up engaged anthropology today.” By questioning what it means to produce a 'finished' piece of anthropological research, I reopen this project to further exploration, foregrounding the generative potential of anthropology as an ongoing, ever-evolving “work in progress.”
Work in progress, to be presented on the website in June 2025.
