Visual Anthropology Center

In our age ever so overwhelming with visual data we find it crucially important for documentarists and social scientists to cooperate with visual artists, film and theater-makers in order for their work to be not only relevant but visually enticing as well. Transdisciplinary research of motion picture and photography, or any kind of visual art shouldn’t just be a tool in the hand of the scientist; visual anthropology and film are to have a symbiotic relationship, documentaries and feature film can have an anthropologic approach and anthropology and social science in general can have an artistic approach – it is our belief that the much desired social change depends on such approach. The VAC intends to be the first step on a long road that leads to a global network of similar hubs aiming to be a powerhouse of socially sensitive artistic and scientific work. Documents can be art as pieces of art can be documents.
