Deadline Reminder!

The Colours of Anthropology

a visual anthropology exhibition
The Call for Photos is open for the 2018 Anthropology Photography Exhibition – the deadline for submissions is in  Monday 2 July 2018.

We are accepting submissions from ANU anthropology postgraduate students and staff members – including the accidental, hesitant, in-methodology-only anthropologists!



Submissions can be emailed to anthropologyanu at gmail.com<mailto:anthropologyanu at gmail.com> or uploaded via this dropbox link<https://www.dropbox.com/request/zTgqruoLr0wITke0bdIH>.



Theme

The 2018 anthropology photography exhibition will be an exploration of sensory ethnography with a particular focus on Colour. We are inviting contributors to consider colour as it relates to their fieldwork experiences and/or a particular research project. Is there a colour or range of colours that you associate with your fieldwork site? What colours invoke a memory, emotion, or relationship to a particular place or person? Did colour have metaphoric, symbolic or semiotic meaning during your fieldwork: did colour ‘say’ something in specific contexts? Was colour an important element in cultural or social activities, events or traditions? How were colours used in a phenomenological sense, perhaps on bodies or other materials during, for example, ceremonies, funerals, or informal occasions?



What we want from you

  *   Two photographs from your fieldwork that work together as a pair to illustrate the theme of the exhibition*
  *   A 150-300-word exegesis on your images that ties them to the exhibition theme (please include your name and the location at which your photographs were taken)
  *   Specs: photographs can be landscape or portrait or a mixture but must be sized at 400x600mm and 300 DPI resolution. TIFF files are preferred but JPEG will also be accepted



*If you can’t choose two images please contact the curator Annette Liu (annetteliu24 at gmail.com<mailto:annetteliu24 at gmail.com>) to discuss alternatives – within wall space and budget constraints we will consider accepting just one image, or even a series of three if they work well together.
