SUMMARY:The Crip/Mad Archive Dances: Embodied Histories
DESCRIPTION:How do disabled and mad people survive\, dance\, insert their differences in a world full of stigma? How do we live through bodymindspirit experiences of alienation and pain? \nThis experimental documentary charts disability culture archives and embodied gestures of survival and creative expression. It draws on community with human and non-human others: media clips as performance gifts\, archival footage from dance archives\, environmental embedment and grounding in trees\, water\, desert and lakes. Together\, we dance\, and spring our binds. Petra’s Q&A opens up using various creative methods to approach archival finds. \nPlease note: This experimental documentary shares instances of medical incarceration including insulin violence. It offers survivor testimonies of artful and agency-full reclamation. The film is fully subtitled in English. The documentary uses ‘crip’ and ‘mad’ as in-group signifiers\, aware of stigma and histories. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS: \nPetra Kuppers is a disability culture activist and a community performance artist. She grounds herself in disability culture methods\, and uses somatics\, performance\, media work\, and speculative writing to engage audiences toward more socially just and enjoyable futures. Her latest academic study is the award-winning Eco Soma: Pain and Joy in Speculative Performance Encounters (UoMinnesota Press\, 2022\, open access). Her fourth poetry collection\, Diver Beneath the Street\, uses a psychogeographic lens to investigate true crime and ecopoetry at the level of the soil\, bringing together life and death (Wayne State University Press\, 2024). \nShe teaches at the University of Michigan\, was a 2022 Dance/USA Fellow\, and a 2023 Guggenheim Fellow. She is currently at work on Planting Disabled Futures\, a virtual reality/community performance project\, as a Social Science Research Council Just Tech Fellow (2024-2026). \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n📅: November 4\, 2024 | 10:30 a.m – 12:30 p.m \n📍: 4TH Space \n🔗 To participate online you can register on Zoom or watch live on YouTube. \n

SUMMARY:Low-Quality in collaborative Ethnographic Filmmaking
DESCRIPTION:Join the Ethnography Lab for the 2nd screening of the season! This session will feature the screening of four short films by Jared Epp\, Leo Stillinger\, Melina Campos and Marie Lecuyer. \nThis event will explore an experimental modality of ethnographic filmmaking that anthropologist Jared Epp calls the ‘ethnographic B movie’\, a novel approach to collaborative multimodal research. This approach – which encourages unprofessionalism\, low quality\, absurdity and caprice – provides an opportunity to centre research contexts\, ontologies and epistemologies on the fringes or margins of conventional anthropological content\, thought and context. Through situating the approach within ideas of arts-based research or research-creation the ethnographic B movie becomes a way to take the process of filmmaking as ethnography for the sake of an open and co-imaginative world. In the ethnographic B movie as filmic approach and representational frame\, communicable meaning and narrative coherence are substituted for the spirit of co-creation\, and interlocutor-driven content (Epp\, 2023). \nMusic Sound Noise by Jared Epp\, 16min \nMusic Sound Noise is a cautionary tale on the endless entangling of information sharing\, social media\, meaning and daily life\, and as well\, a satire on the anthropologist as colonizer of knowledge.  \nDr. Carlos Popper\, a positivist ethnographer arrives in the neighbourhood of Parkdale\, Toronto\, to study the growing concern of people vanishing into total virtual reality (the film was shot during the summer of 2020). On his journey he encounters Mr. Noise\, who embodies the desire for the virtual and tries to lure Popper to join him. Representing the liminality between the virtual and physical\, Mr. Sound\, another resident of the neighbourhood\, tries to save Popper.  \nJared Epp is a PhD Candidate in social anthropology from Carleton University in Ottawa\, Canada. His research focuses on the intersection of place\, imagination and precarity in a Canadian urban context. He is currently based in Edmonton\, Canada\, finishing his dissertation and working as a community arts facilitator with individuals living unhoused and/or with a concurrence of mental health barriers and addictions \n  \nGrandmother by Melina Campos Ortiz\, Heather Dirckze and Charanpreet Khaira\, 6min \nIn presence of Melina Campos Ortiz \nGrandmother tells the story of migration through the faces that you might not associate with the anger and hatred that fuels British news and politics: the faces of Granny\, Naniji and Baba – three ordinary grandmothers. \nMelina Campos Ortiz is a PhD student in the department of Sociology and Anthropology at Concordia. She uses Feminist Science and Technology Studies to explore human-soil relations in organic farming in Quebec\, paying particular attention to Central American migrant workers’ experiences. She currently coordinates an SHRCC-funded project that seeks to strengthen the ties between ethnography labs in North America. \n  \nGwo Ging by Marie Lécuyer\, 25min \nGwo Ging (meaning « to transit through the border ») is an experiential ethnographic video that explores the perception of disappearance of the dead from the realm of the living in Hong Kong’S saturated archipelago. The pressure from urbanization along with new government policies promoting green and “oceanic” burials have been reconfiguring ways of caring for and re-membering the dead. Once immersed in water\, and without a stable resting place to call home\, the dead are removed from the « liquid ecology » that flows between the environment\, the deceased and their descendants by way of paper offerings\, simulacra of banknotes and gold or silver ingots. The film aims to offer a counter-gesture to the perception of disappearance of this spectral ecology by rendering visible the gestures by which undertakers take care of the dead through pyrotechnic rituals feeding a vital breath that animates the living and the dead alike. \nMarie Lecuyer is a postdoctoral fellow and the co-lead of the Critical Media Club in the department of anthropology at McGill University. Her doctoral thesis focused on the oceanic turn in funeral rites in the Hong Kong archipelago and explored the way in which an oceanic environment dissolves traces of past lives and reconfigures ways of commemorating the dead. At the crossroads between environmental anthropology\, death studies and media studies\, her research is interested in modes of infraperceptible presence and uses multisite and multimedia methods. Her current research focuses on ways of anticipating and remediating flooding phenomena in Hong Kong and Ottawa. \n  \nTrail Days by Leo Stillinger\, 15 min \nTrail Days is an ethnographic reverie depicting a festival of hikers in Damascus\, Virginia\, along the Appalachian Trail. The film was shot on GoPro and iPhone during fieldwork with thru-hikers on the Appalachian Trail\, which stretches more than 3\,500 kilometers from Georgia to Maine in the eastern United States. Those who attempt to hike the entire trail end up forming a sub-culture of their own\, hidden in the woods of the Appalachian mountains\, but emerging occasionally to produce a unique and dreamlike atmosphere in the small towns they pass through—most notably in the annual Trail Days festival in Damascus\, where every year in late May twenty thousand people\, hikers past and present\, descend on a town with a population of less than eight hundred. \nLeo Stillinger is a writer and filmmaker based in Montreal. His first film\, An Urban Wild\, was screened at the Festival International de Film Éthnographique de Quebec (FIFEQ) in 2023. He recently completed a Master’s in Anthropology at McGill University\, focusing on the experience of long-distance hikers on the Appalachian Trail. \n  \n: November 7\, 2024 | 5 PM \n: Screening Room EV 10.525 \n Register here to reserve your spot. Seats are limited.

SUMMARY:Community Engaged Ethnography
DESCRIPTION:On November 8\, the Concordia Ethnography Lab will be hosting a workshop on Community Engaged Ethnography with special guests Jennifer Cardinal and Brandon Costelloe-Kuehn from the Department of Science and Technology Studies at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.\n\n\n\nABOUT THE EVENT:\n\n\nThis workshop invites scholars\, teachers\, and community members to share experiences with community engagement\, both in their research and in the classroom. Bringing together experiences from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Department of Science and Technology Studies\, where community engagement has been increasingly included as part of undergraduate education\, and the Concordia Ethnography Lab\, who have conducted a number of engaged ethnographic projects since its foundation\, this workshop will provide a space to exchange experiences\, problems\, and expertise. Participants will discuss how to conduct community engagement ethically and responsibly\, how “non-academic” work can be recognized within the university\, and other related questions from the participants. We welcome community members to join the conversation. No experience or preparation is necessary to participate.\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE GUESTS:\n\nJennifer Cardinal is a cultural anthropologist who studies community-led sustainable development and climate justice. Her ethnographic research extends a political ecology approach to questions about the precarious relationships\, practices\, and discourse at the intersection of community and sustainability. She teaches methodological and conceptual tools to understand local meanings and practices in the context of global systems. This attention to the local within the global frame includes a commitment to support inclusive sustainability initiatives.\nJennifer’s recent publications examine the relationship between consumption-driven migration\, environmental conservation\, agriculture\, nonprofit organizations\, and community development in small town on the southern Jalisco\, Mexico coast. This stretch of coast is experiencing a transition as much of the beach-front land is being privatized for luxury resort development with claims of environmental sustainability. In the community Jennifer worked with\, on the other hand\, the concept of sustainability is materializing in an alternative locally-directed community development. This research explores how different environmental ideologies converge and produce frictions in divergent sustainable development practices.\nThe local and international collaborative research projects Jennifer has designed in the US\, Iceland\, and the UK bring a commitment to inclusive community engagement that integrates teaching with research on human/environment relationships. At Earlham College in Richmond\, Indiana\, Jennifer’s multidisciplinary student/faculty collaborative research team assessed local needs and assets\, and designed an interactive resource guide in a project funded through the Earlham Center for Social Justice. Student researchers took the leading role in directing the project to ensure that it would be inclusive\, accessible\, and useful to community residents. This project built on research into local sustainability initiatives in the UK and using a model team members explored in London\, resulted in a proposal to open a free Library of Things in collaboration with the municipal library in Richmond.\nJennifer’s current research interests in Troy\, NY include care\, community\, precarity\, and disaster. She is studying viable community networks for maneuvering climate insecurity with a focus on water and food. This local research also includes questions about how well-resourced institutions can better support local needs\, and the role of community-engaged work and learning in building mutually supportive networks including transitory student populations and rooted community organizations. This local ethnographic research will build on a larger comparative project integrating research on grassroots sustainable development in sites in Mexico\, the United Kingdom\, and the United States.\n\n\n\n\nBrandon Costelloa-Kuehn is an anthropologically-oriented STS scholar working at the intersection of community engagement\, design research\, pedagogy\, and environmental justice. \nHis scholarly work on the contexts that enable effective collaboration\, communication\, and engagement is rooted in interdisciplinary research that centers both STS and non-academic perspectives. \nFor the past decade\, building on his early ethnographic research on how environmental scientists at the EPA approach communication as a task of “context production\,” he has designed and developed contexts for collaborative data analysis (the Platform for Collaborative Experimental Ethnography)\, public data sharing (the Jefferson Project Data Dashboard)\, and community-engaged pedagogy (Volunteer Troy and Vasudha Living & Learning). \nHis most recent research\, while rooted in local community-engaged methods\, aims to impact national policy and practices around nuclear waste\, leading to more just and equitable processes and outcomes. \n\n\n\n📅: November 8\, 2024 | 12-2 p.m\n📍: Speculative Life Room EV 10.625

SUMMARY:Drawing and Ethnography Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join the Visual Methods Studio for an engaging workshop on November 19th\, where we will explore the intersection of drawing and ethnographic research\, examining how the act of visual representation can deepen our understanding of observation\, detail\, and meaning-making in anthropological practice. \nThe process of visual recreation from memory or observation has been a part of our sense-making from a very young age. Drawing is one of the first things many of us learned how to do\, even before forming full sentences. \nHow does the practice of drawing mingle with our practices as researchers? Kuschiner (2016\,105) says: “Both anthropology and drawing are ways of seeing and also ways of knowing the world. Placing these two universes in dialogue helps shed light on some of the important issues faced by anthropological practice today.” \nDuring our workshop\, we will be doing various exercises and get a chance to reflect and share back on our experience with the guidance of the following questions: \n\nWhat are some ethnographic insights in paying attention to the technique of drawing as a practice?\nWhat is a structure\, what is a detail?\nWhat is in the background and foreground of a scene or encounter?\nHow can these distinctions inform our observation\, representation and research?\n\nThe workshop will be co-facilitated by Irmak Taner and Pelin Karaaslan. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParticipants are encouraged to mask for the duration of the workshop. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n📅: November 19 | 3:30 – 5:30 PM \n📍: Speculative Life Room EV 10.625 \n🎟️: Make sure to register here. \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Haptic Images Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Curious about the Jacquard loom and how you can integrate it in your artistic practice? Join Geneviève Moisan for an introduction to the Pointcarré Textile software for the Jacquard Loom. \n\nOnce a vitrine for innovation\, the first Jacquard images were inspired by the popular imagery of the time and produced by different ateliers as a way for them to demonstrate their technical proficiency. In a contemporary context\, we have become over-saturated with images\, leading us to question which images warrant materialization\, and why. \n\nIn this workshop\, you will learn the first steps of transforming an image into an intricately woven piece of cloth and how to turn your digital file into a haptic piece of art: an image that you can touch and feel. You will explore the art of making an image by using the structures of crossed yarns in patterns that will shape its highlights and shadows\,  simulating a fabric in which the raised design is incorporated into the weave instead of being printed or dyed on. \n\n\nFor this workshop\, you are invited to bring an image to work with. Please consider the following criteria when selecting an image:\n\nContrast: High contrast images are most successful. Please note that the final image will be converted to a grayscale\, but you are welcome to bring in colour images and convert them using Photoshop.\nResolution: Not too much detail—single objects\, portraits\, or simple landscapes work best. The resolution of the image will be brought down to 60 dpi\, so even a screen capture is acceptable.\nDimensions: Square format (but we can crop using Photoshop).\n\nNote: Only experienced weavers are authorized to operate the Jacquard loom. There is a possibility to have your image woven in the weeks after the workshop in a size of about 12 x 12 inches.\n\nThere are no prerequisites for this workshop. ​Limited space available. Registration on a first-come\, first-served basis.\n\nInstruction will be given in the Cluster Commons (EV 10.730)\, followed by independent work on individual computers in separate rooms.\n\n\n🚨 This workshop is for Textiles and Materiality members only!\n\n📅: November 22\, 2024 | 1-4 PM\n📍: EV 10.730\n🎟️: Please e-mail textiles.materiality@concordia.ca to register.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with Director Jennifer Baichwal.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA cinematic meditation on humanity’s massive reengineering of the planet\, ANTHROPOCENE: The Human Epoch is a four years in the making feature documentary film from the multiple-award winning team of Jennifer Baichwal\, Nicholas de Pencier and Edward Burtynsky. Third in a trilogy that includes Manufactured Landscapes (2006) and Watermark (2013)\, the film follows the research of an international body of scientists\, the Anthropocene Working Group who\, after nearly 10 years of research\, are arguing that the Holocene Epoch gave way to the Anthropocene Epoch in the mid-twentieth century\, because of profound and lasting human changes to the Earth. From concrete seawalls in China that now cover 60% of the mainland coast\, to the biggest terrestrial machines ever built in Germany\, to psychedelic potash mines in Russia’s Ural Mountains\, to metal festivals in the closed city of Norilsk\, to the devastated Great Barrier Reef in Australia and surreal lithium evaporation ponds in the Atacama desert\, the filmmakers have traversed the globe using high end production values and state of the art camera techniques to document evidence and experience of human planetary domination.\nAt the intersection of art and science\, ANTHROPOCENE: The Human Epoch witnesses in an experiential and non-didactic sense a critical moment in geological history — bringing a provocative and unforgettable experience of our species’ breadth and impact.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n📅 November 28\, 2024 | 6 pm\n📍 VA-114\n🔗 Please register here for the event as spots are limited!
