Workshop with Artist Nuno Cassola

Sensitive Inheritance: Zine Creations with Visual Material as a Research-Based Archival Practice, a workshop by Nuno CassolaPlease note, this workshop includes a one-hour break for lunch. We ask participants to bring images from their fieldwork or the MAA’s archive.  In this workshop, the artist Nuno Cassola will be sharing ways of working with images collected while conducting research. During research about his family’s relationship with the Portuguese dictatorship and the colonial war in African territories, Nuno Cassola was entrusted with a big quantity of visual and textual documents from the 1960s and 1970s. Instead of looking at them only as supporting material, participants will elaborate on visual narratives through the form of zines. While associating images or their fragments, new ways of telling stories will be explored, revealing hidden narratives or new paths into one’s research. Participants will be asked to bring some of their own fieldwork images, their personal archive (photos, posters, texts, drawings, etc), or materials taken from the MAA’s photographic archive. Using these images, participants will explore what novel meanings are revealed through juxtaposition and play.  Attendance is capped at 15 places per workshop and preference will be given to taught PG students of the Department of Social Anthropology, but it is open to everyone.
