		<description><![CDATA[Contemporary Australian Aboriginal art can be argued to be one of the most well known examples of collaborative ethnographic practice using creative art &#8211; the multiple functions of works, the layers of inter and cross-cultural collaboration shaping the works, the underlying relationship of Aboriginal painting to story, culture and cultural expression &#8211; all qualities that mark the broad category of contemporary Australian Aboriginal art as a form of collaborative creative ethnographic practice. See the recent Canning Stock Route exhibition &#8220;Yiwarra Kuju&#8221; at the Australian Museum for illustration of what I mean. The Aboriginal art industry has been going for many decades now and has been the subject of much scholarship, journalism and debate. It has a lot to teach us about the issues that can confront and shape collaborative ethnography/art practices. Issues such as the overlaps and competition of different agendas driving the creative practice (cultural maintenance, economic independence and engagement with &#8216;mainstream&#8217; markets, such as the market for &#8216;high&#8217; art for example);  the reception of works, their value, both financial and cultural and who benefits from this value; the kinds of organisations that emerge to support collaborative ethnographic/art practices and how these organisations shape the kinds of work made.

		<description><![CDATA[Recently published by Magabala Books is &#8220;Our World: Bardi Jaawi Life at Ardiyooloon&#8221;, a collaborative ethnography of Bardi culture as enacted through the One Arm Point Community School Culture Program. One Arm Point is an Aboriginal community on the Dampier Penninsula, North West of Broome, Western Australia. The  book draws on materials made out of a Culture Program run through the One Arm Point Community School, in which all kids at the school participate in fortnightly  Culture Days and culture is integrated into the broader school curriculum. The &#8220;Our World: Bardi Jaawi Life at Ardiyooloon&#8221; book, and the One Arm Point Community School Culture Program are an example of how collaborative ethnography is being used in Indigenous education in Australia. The materials in the book began as small laminated booklets (and accompanying DVD&#8217;s) made following each Culture Day. Students, teachers, community elders and Aboriginal and Islander Education Officers (AIEO&#8217;s) documented cultural activities and lessons for use in the classroom and distribution in the community. The process of learning cultural knowledge (such as traditional hunting techniques, language words and phrases, cultural knowledge about local places, season, weather and tides&#8230;) is done in a practical way in the Culture Program, with kids, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Checkout the newest offering from the Neighborhood Story Project in New Orleans: &#8220;After a season of writing workshops on the backside of the Fair Grounds, the Neighborhood Story Project has produced an exhibition of open letters written by jockeys, trainers, grooms, hotwalkers, veterinarians and track employees&#8230; Each year, more than 700 workers arrive in October and leave after the Louisiana Derby at the end of March. In this project, the writers have documented the joys and struggles of the horseracing world during the months in between. The exhibit includes handmade letter boxes with copies of the letters that can be taken home to read more about the months of work and planning that go into creating the racing glory that lasts less than two minutes.&#8221; See the NSP website to read one of the letters and for details on the exhibition, or read the article written on the project in the New York Times.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Out of South Australia comes the newest incarnation of Big Stories Small Towns, a project in which resident film makers have made portrait films about people in the communities of Port Augusta, Murray Bridge and Raukkan. There are also some films made by community members themselves, these are well worth having a look at, with a more personal, less documentary tone. The films are all available on the web and form a patchwork portrait of the places and the themes that run through communities. Also an interesting link in the world of participatory media, one of the Big Stories producers, Martin Potter, also worked on the Cambodian part of the NFBC High Rise project&#8230; www.bigstories.com.au]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following on from the National Film Board of Canada&#8217;s desire to continue participatory film making into the digital age they have produced an ambitious participatory digital ethnography project called High Rise. NFB calls High Rise a 360 degree documentary &#8211; by which they mean it is an interactive documentary &#8211; a field growing in popularity as the wonders of web design improve day by day. High Rise profiles high rise living in a number of places around the world using photography, edited extracts from interviews and oral histories and a very cool panorama web design that allows you to virtually look around the spaces in which the stories take place and dive into different elements of the stories with audio, visual and text based stories on tap. click here to see a trailer on the project or just go to the High Rise site and explore.

It was sponsored through a grant from the Greater New Orleans Foundation. The photography by Maya Haviland of Side by Side Community Projects and the stories by Rachel Breunlin of Neighborhood Story Project at the University of New Orleans provide insight into the Houma community and traditions. The event, free and open to the public, will include intertribal dancing, a presentation on the history of the United Houma Nation by tribal historian Mike Dardar, and an &#8220;unveiling&#8221; of the posters. There will be light refreshments and time to meet the people who contributed oral histories to the project afterward.

		<description><![CDATA[In Part 2 on Marie-Eve Leduc’s work with Participatory Video and her 2007 work running a PV project with 6 Palestinian youths in Bethlehem, Marie-Eve talks about her motivations and approach to PV and reflects on how her own identity as foreign facilitator may have influenced the direction of the youth’s films, despite efforts to minimise this influence. You can read Part 1 on Marie-Eve’s work here. Marie-Eve was influenced in her PV approach by other Participatory Video practitioners, such as Nick &#38; Chris Lunch and InsightShare PV model, however she adapted and changed the approach to suit her goals for the project. “My primary objectives were never to use films as a negotiation tool to stimulate communication between a community and its policy-makers. I was basically concerned to discover and understand how young Palestinian refugees perceive their world and represent themselves through films. I was interested in their personal visual narratives recounting their life experiences as Palestinian refugee and adolescents. I chose to work with a model of individual film-making, but I maintained the idea of the ‘group’. This means that we had group workshops, discussions and brainstorming but in the end, the six members of the group had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the first in what I hope will be a series about artists and practitioners who bring together collaborative ethnography and art. This first feature is about Participatory Video practitioner Marie-Eve Leduc. It is accompanied by an exhibition in Side by Side Online Galleries of 3 of the films made by young Palestinian refugees in a project that Marie-Eve facilitated. Click here to visit the exhibition. I first came across Marie-Eve’s work when I was shown a copy of her film “Stars Of Bethlehem” which is a documentary about a Participatory Video (PV) project she ran in Bethlehem with Palestinian refugees in 2007. At that time she made the film, Marie-Eve was a student in the Masters of Visual Culture Studies at the University Tromso, in Norway. Marie-Eve calls Stars of Bethlehem a ‘mosaic’ film which was made as part of the examination process for her training.  To me there is great strength in the films ability to reveal aspects of the process of collaboration and the nature of the relationships which enabled 6 young people to make their own films. As practitioners of participatory and collaborative projects, such insights into other peoples experience are rare, and invaluable. I [...]]]></description>
