The paper reviews the notion of responsibility in the practice of ethnographic fieldwork with
Afro-Colombian artists and community leaders who use diverse artistic practices to fight
structural racism in Colombia in their daily contexts. Challenging structural racism through
Afro-contemporary dance and filmmaking where the children play leading roles led me to
think about: i) How can we build our positioning when we work with impoverished and
racialised communities; ii) What are the limits on narratives that can be told through artistic
expression; iii) How can we manage the issues that arise when collaborating with social
movements from our anthropological background? The experiences I will talk about arose
from my recent research as a part of the project Cultures of Anti-Racism in Latin America
(CARLA), coordinated by Prof. Peter Wade and based in the School of Social Science,
University of Manchester.
