Introduction to Visual Anthropology

Throughout the six sessions, we will describe the visual both as a sensorial experience, a way of perceiving the many worlds around us, and as a practical and symbolic expression, a way of communicating our perceptions, feelings, actions and positions. For each session, there are introductive short videos and short texts. At the end of each session, we included suggestions of short exercises for the participants to produce some materials according with their creativity and sensibility.
