Transmediation as method and intervention
This article positions Haida, Irish, and Kwakw a k a 'wakw artist Jaad Kuujus (Meghann O'Brien)'s transmediation of her woven artwork in conversation with Indigenous curatorial practices in physical and virtual spaces. Transmediation is presented as a method for engaging with decolonial practices in museums and archives using research-creation and collaborative media production, and an intervention to provoke consideration of new possibilities fo…
You Help Us Tell our Story
Inuvialuit have always created culture through our/their living and land-based practices. For us, making culture means doing, practicing, and sharing activities and songs and country food, on the land and in town, together with our families and communities. These layers of history are embedded in the landscape of Inuvialuit Nunangat, our homeland, and in the voices of Elders past and present speaking about their knowledges and experiences. In thi…
Vous nous aidez à raconter notre histoire
Les Inuvialuit ont toujours créé leur culture à travers nos/leurs pratiques de vie ancrées dans le territoire. Pour nous, « faire la culture » signifie réaliser, pratiquer et partager des activités, des chants et de la nourriture locale, dans la nature et dans les villages, ensemble avec nos familles et nos communautés. Ces niveaux d'histoire sont inscrits dans le paysage inuvialuit de langue nunangat, notre pays, et dans les voix des Aînés du pa…
Parents Assist
Young men who have sex with men (YMSM) between the ages of 13 and 24 are a key population for HIV prevention. The parents of gay, bisexual, and queer (GBQ) adolescent males and the sex communication they have with their sons has yet to be explored as an HIV prevention intervention. We developed an online video series called Parents ASSIST (Advancing Supportive and Sexuality-Inclusive Sex Talks) to educate parents about sexual health topics pertin…
Anarchival Materiality in Film Archives
In this article, we propose an anthropology of the multimodal, based on research‐creation work in fugitive film archives. We foreground the material dimension of anthropological research and describe film technology and its use in anthropology as ideologically and materially situated. Through our work with magenta film, we theorize anarchival materiality as a force of entropy in archives and collections. Attention to anarchival materiality raises…
Navigating the Cyber Museum
This article closely examines aspects of the Virtual Museum of Canada’s website A Journey into Time Immemorial to investigate the relationship between the poetics of new media and contemporary curatorial practices in Indigenous cultural heritage. In this interactive cyber museum, detailed reconstructions of a longhouse village, engaging motion graphics and video interviews with Elders are combined to represent the historical practices of Stó:l̄-C…
Bad Habitus
The recent reframing of the Visual Anthropology section in American Anthropologist was motivated by a sense that new technologies have democratizing power and that through multimodal forms we can address a shift toward engagement and collaboration in anthropological research (Collins, Durington, and Gill 2017). Our purpose in this essay is to engage and expand the discussion raised by Samuel Collins, Matthew Durington, and Harjant Gill in their 2…

Changing Perceptions of Nature
Sharing deep history as digital knowledge
Ontology is the philosophical study of the nature of being, becoming, existence, and relation. This paper presents an ontology of the Sq'éwlets Virtual Museum of Canada Website Project, a project that has focused on creating a digital community biography of the Sq'éwlets First Nation ( www.digitalsqewlets.ca ). Based on several decades of community archaeology and the recent production of short video documentaries, the website presents a long-ter…
The Appropriation of a Digitally-Augmented Agora
In 2013, we conducted a ten-week qualitative field evaluation of an interactive public space art installation. During these three months, we observed a vast array of examples of how the general public appropriated this technological artifact and the public space in which it was deployed. This article draws on Mosco’s political economy of communication framework to examine how one specific issue public—composed of several different groups actively…
The Dual Skins of a Media Façade
In the fall of 2013, Mégaphone, an architectural-scale interactive “Speakers’ Corner,” was deployed outdoors after dusk in downtown Montréal, Canada. This urban art installation included a monumental media façade designed to display a transcription of some of the words uttered into the microphone by end users. Driven by the system’s two temporal modalities—a performative “live mode” and an archival “sleep mode”—the video projections revealed the …
Critical Reflections on Safeguarding Culture
This article examines the educational approaches taken by the Intangible Cultural Heritage and Museums Field School in Lamphun, Thailand, organized by the Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Anthropology Centre (SAC). Since 2009, the Field School, which takes place over a period of two weeks, has brought together fifty-five heritage professionals from throughout South East Asia to learn about intangible cultural heritage and its safeguarding. Through…
Returning Souls by Hu Tai-Li
Cultural Heritage on the Web
The 2003 UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage specifies that communities are to be full partners in efforts to safeguard their intangible cultural heritage. Yet the notion of safeguarding has been complicated by the politics and mechanisms of digital circulation. Based on fieldwork in British Columbia and Thailand, I show that community-based productions of multimedia aimed at documenting, transmitting, and r…
Ethnographic Terminalia
Ethnographic Terminalia is a collective project that brings together art and anthropology within the gallery space. This article traces the origin of the project, its past and current exhibitions, and situates for the reader the scope of how various projects from installations, to sound works, sculptures, photography, film, community‐based works, material culture, and performance transcend the borders of art and anthropology. The essays that foll…
Ethnographic Terminalia 2010
The projects presented in Ethnographic Terminalia 2010: New Orleans—27 Works contextualize each work within the 2010 exhibition installed in New Orleans at the Du Mois Gallery. The summary of each project in this article captures the methodology of research that informs the conversation between art and anthropology, as well as demonstrating the full scope of the exhibition that includes works from film to photography, material culture, installati…
A Ituvatuva Ni Vakadidike E Sawau

In a shower of orange pixel sparks, the opening credits of A Ituvatuva Ni Vakadidike E Sawau: The Sawau Project DVD roll across the screen, first to warn that “unauthorized duplicating, lending, [or] broadcasting is prohibited,” and then to assert that the project itself is “an indigenous response to the p…
Virtual Repatriation and Digital Cultural Heritage

The site utilizes blogging and social-media principles to more efficiently distribute information and to promote and archive the activities of the society's annual Film, Video, and Interactive Media Festival and Visual Rese…
New Technologies and Contested Ideologies
In December 2004 representatives of the Yukon government and the First People's Cultural Foundation of British Columbia signed an agreement to facilitate the use of digital multimedia technology to archive and teach endangered Native languages.1 "Without initiatives like FirstVoices, indigenous languages and cultural knowledge are at risk of disappearing forever," Yukon premier Dennis Fentie said in a prepared statement.2 The Tagish language webs…
