Pauses and flow in art making and ethnographic research
I examine my dual role as artist and ethnographer in the creation of artworks including mixed-media paintings and installations. Drawing from four works that combine art making and anthropological research, I present, from the perspective of anthropology, the process of the creation of artworks as dynamic sites for creating and observing the emergence of knowledge, as well as the development of empathy between researcher/artist and participants. …
Embodying dreams and emotions in the streets of the San Francisco Bay Area
As part of the interdisciplinary project Atlas of Dreams, I created a series of artistic maps, that both show the places where 400 dreamers recounted their memorable dreams and also depict the emotional impact of these narratives in the grid of cities in the San Francisco Bay Area. Atlas of Dreams aims at uncovering the emotional life of cities. I present, from my perspective as both a visual artist and an ethnographer, how the embodied art pract…

Atlas of Dreams
I created the installation Atlas of Dreams , a series of artistic maps and audio recordings , to portray the emotional traces left by 145 dreamers when they narrated their memorable dreams in the cities of the Bay Area of San Francisco.

Collaborative art and the emergence and development of ethnographic knowledge and empathy
This article addresses the use of collaborative art in the creation of ethnographic knowledge and the development of empathy between the ethnographer – who is also a visual artist – and nine Chilean political exiles during the creation of artworks depicting the experience of exile for the art installation Geographies of the Imagination. Using the creation of the monoprint banner of one of the exiles, I show how the participatory method of making …
Making the unfamiliar personal
I present the installation Geographies of the Imagination, an arts-based ethnography about long-term exile, as a form of public ethnography that unveils the acquisition and transmission of ethnographic knowledge as interactive, emergent, and creative. I will show how the methods of collaboration and art making created bodily forms of knowledge among the participants and the audience at the exhibition of the installation that have the potential fo…
Female Shamanism and the Mapuche Transformation into Christian Chilean Farmers
This article examines the emergence of a new form of shamanism among the Mapuche of Chile during their first decades under the dominion of the Chilean state. Specifically, it links the emergence of a female shamanism with the policies implemented by the Chilean government and the Catholic Church to integrate the Mapuche into the Chilean society as Christian farmers. The material of this paper is based on historical material from 1881 to 1930

Female shamanism and modernity

Dreaming as Interaction
Rather than regarding dreams as "things" or property, and grammatically treating them as nouns, the suggestion is to formulate a dream as an activity, label it "dreaming" and more specifically accept dreaming as interactional. For dreaming to be of importance, several psychological factors must be considered, including retention and selection, as well as external factors, such as to whom dreams are reported and their style of communication. Examp…
