Why do contemporary art curators define their work as ethnography? How can curation illuminate the practice of contemporary anthropology? Does anthropology risk disappearing as a discipline within the general model of the curatorial? Roger Sansi (Universitat de Barcelona), editor of the recently published book The Anthropologist as Curator (2020), shares the process of collecting the perspective of international scholars working at the intersection of anthropology, contemporary art, museum studies, curatorial studies and heritage studies. Contributors include George Marcus, Ethnographic Terminalia, Tarek Elhaik, and Judith Winter.

Programmed by Tarek Elhaik (associate professor, anthropology) and the AIL: Anthropology of the Image lab. Co-sponsored by the Manetti Shrem Museum.
