Multimodality is gaining momentum in anthropology: from multimedia approaches to ethnographic representation to collaborative, scenographic, performative, artistic and public forms of engagement, the norms and forms of our discipline seem to be undergoing a vast transformation. Operating on this shifting terrain, the Digital Curatorial Collective of the SCA started working with a simple tenet: Perhaps we don’t know what multimodal means yet. If that is the case, how could we help to capture and discuss its many promises and challenges as something in flight, with changing meanings, as part of ongoing experimentation that might not yet be fixed or settled? We have been addressing our work as a studio: a workshop space to undertake conceptual hands-on work, where things can be discussed and documented as they happen, enabling a media-rich, process-oriented, and generative space to redefine what anthropology can be as we explore its means and modes.
