Ethnographic Terminalia Presents: Zoe Bray–Seeing Ethnography
Mead Dialogues | Margaret Mead Festival | 18-20 October 2013
American Museum of Natural History, NYC

What does it mean to visually capture people and cultures? To spark that conversation, this year’s Mead Film Festival is collaborating with the art and anthropology collective Ethnographic Terminalia to put the anthropologist front and center. University of Nevada anthropologist and artist Zoe Bray will showcase her unusual and innovative style of ethnography by live-painting a local subject in the Museum’s Grand Gallery for the duration of the festival. Stop by to watch Dr. Bray at work, discover her visual research methods, and consider how ethnography is practiced.
