Bio

I am a multimodal anthropologist whose research projects are led by the production of audio-visual texts such as films, sound clips, drawings, shorter and longer videos, and audio-visual installations. My work in Cuba focuses on the concepts of materiality, infrastructures, circulation, digital media and the consequences of the recent economic crisis.

I am interested in supervising graduate students whose work relates to visual anthropology (film, audio-visual installations), sound studies (including music), creative practices and methodologies, digital media, infrastructure, cultural policies, Cuba, the Caribbean and South America.
