Paper long abstract:

I will present and talk you through a series of drawings produced over the course of the last two years in the context of the HANDMADE project. I will discuss, from the perspective of the artist, how I see the role of drawing as a means of anthropological observation. In addition, I will reflect on the effect that my prolonged immersion in the field as part of an ethnographic team had on my perception of drawing as an artistic practice. I will also discuss the use of drawings as a medium for facilitating inter-group discussions and collaboration. Last, I will also share some reflections on the value of drawing in expressing, translating and communicating various aspects of skilled practices.
