Conversations about art and anthropology in the Anthropocene (2024)

This series of talks was organized by Amélia Frazão-Moreira and Sónia Mota Ribeiro, as part of the sessions of LAE (Laboratory of Environmental Anthropology and Behavioral Ecology) of CRIA (Center for Research in Anthropology). Non-textual methodologies of ethnographic engagement, queer ecologies, radioactive worlds, territory and the commons, the anthropology-theatre relationship, and the use of image in ethnography were discussed. More than obtaining answers, we sought to broaden the relationships, experiments, and ideas debated and to imagine new questions about the possible epistemological and methodological relationships between the territories of art, anthropology, and environmental studies, proportionate to the complexity of the ecological crisis associated with the Anthropocene proposal.
