		<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[How do we use visual ethnography to represent places? Landscape images alone often render a place somewhat opaque &#8211; capturing a static moment, leaving out the dynamism of country, weather, sensory experience, encounters, people and their lived stories. For me some of the most successful uses of the visual in telling stories of place rely on layering, building up pictures over time or from different points of view. An interesting project that is attempting to represent the many facets of place using  visual forms is the Pilbara Project - the most recent project of FORM, funded by an ongoing partnership with mining company BHP Billiton. FORM has sponsored a number of artists &#8211; mostly photographers and videographers, but also some writers &#8211; to take journeys through the Pilbara, a region in central Western Australia most famous as the site of some of Australias richest mines. The result is presented as an exhibition, much of which can be seen on the project web site. FORM is also inviting people to submit their stories of the Pilbara, for what I assume will be another participatory layer of the project to be released down the track.

		<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. (Check out previous posts on interesting work from the Canadian National Film Board here)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Side by Side blog has been rather quiet for many months now &#8211; mainly because I (Maya) have been busy with my new son Aubrey who was born last September. We&#8217;ve been taking some time to get to know each other away from the digital world, but we are now getting into a routine that just might provide space for a return to blogging! In 2011 I have reason to be back up in the Kimberley (north western Australia) and hope to bring, amongst other things, some news of interesting projects and work going on here. Thanks to readers who have been getting in touch with information and projects to include in the blog &#8211; sorry I&#8217;m slow to get them up and please keep sending me your thoughts, comments and info on the creative things you are up to.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following the boom of media making by Indigenous people in Australia in recent years the challenges of how to archive and make accessible Indigenous-made materials, as well as repatriate historical and anthropological materials to Indigenous communities, have led to a some interesting community based archiving and multi-media projects. The Mulka Project, is based in the Yolgnu community of Yirrkala, in East Arneham land&#8230; &#8220;The Mulka Project provides meaningful employment and empowerment to the Yirrkala community by allowing Yolngu Aboriginal People to take control of documents of their culture in modern digital media. On one side is the repatriation of valuable documentation of the region&#8217;s cultural heritage that is kept in outside collections. The other is training Yolngu to take the reigns of modern media to tell their own stories from now on.&#8221; Scroll down their home page to see a short video about the project and explore the website for all sorts of interesting content. They have produced a variety of music CD&#8217;s, video clips and other documentary type videos. Check out the video link to watch a range of this material. The Ara Irititja Project (which means ‘stories from a long time ago’ in the language of Pitjantjatjara and [...]]]></description>

Stars of Bethlehem is a participatory video project that worked with young Palestinian refugees in camps in Bethlehem in 2007. This exhibition features 3 of the films made by young film makers during the project, representing their experiences and lives as refugees. The films are shown with the permission of the film makers, and the exhibition is accompanied by a two part interview with participatory video facilitator Marie-Eve Leduc about her experience of facilitating the Stars of Bethlehem project and supporting the making of video by the young participants.

(Warning, there is a lot of  material to see&#8230; another good one to look at with a cup of tea or two&#8230;).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Society for Photographic Education is hosting its annual conference in Philadelphia, USA, in March 2010 with a focus on diversity in photographic practice. Sessions will include discussion by photographers and educators about collaboration, photography &#38; film making with teens, photography by working class people, blind people&#8230; Of particular interest are the featured speakers Hulleah Tsinhnahjinnie and Veronica Passalacqua who convened the 2nd Indigenous Photography Gathering at UC Davis in April 2009. Below is an excerpt from the abstract on their upcoming talk at the conference: Historical photographs of Native American and global Indigenous communities have, and in some cases continue, to contribute to the construction of perceived identities and visual stereotypes of native peoples. However, this outsider’s perspective reveals more about the non-native photographer than the subject when compared to the works of Indigenous photographers who are visually documenting their own communities and regions. From as early as 1899, Native American photographers have been working in the medium; commissioned for portraits, documenting events, and recording daily life and community in this early form of visual sovereignty. Indigenous photographers and their sitters had the agency to choose when, where and the manner in which they wished to be imaged and [...]]]></description>
