This article represents an exercise in dialogical anthropology, based on a collaboration with contemporary visual artists in a specific fieldwork locale in Argentina. The deeper epistemic interest is in exploring contemporary 'speaking terms' (which James Clifford [1988] originally found characteristic of art-anthropology encounters in France in the 1920s and 1930s). The specific project under review involved a collaboration with contemporary visual artists from Corrientes, Northeast Argentina, and the making of a series of hybrid 'works' between art and anthropology. This included material participation in (rather than 'observation of') the performance of the procession of the patron saint of a nearby village, Santa Ana, i.e., making a new dress for the saint's statue, producing a video, and field notes. The appropriation of and material intervention into a setting of popular religiosity raise questions about the epistemological status of art and anthropology collaborations as hybrid knowledge productions, where participants contest each others' disciplinary assumptions. Extending on work by Nicolas Bourriaud, Grant Kester and Trinh T. Minh-Ha, this author concludes that it is precisely from such an uneven hermeneutic field and the recognition of dialogical difference that productive collaborations can develop
