		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to reader Naomi Sunderland for writing in with a link to 1000 Voices &#8211; a project gathering first person stories of people living with disabilities in Australia to use in disability research, advocacy and policy change. Hosted at Griffith University and sponsored by a range of government and non-government orgs, the project is aiming to gather the stories of 1000 people living with disabilities. The stories so far are mainly text based &#8211; sometimes transcriptions of interviews accompanied by some images, but there is capacity to post multi-media works and video. From the USA comes a project with the same name &#8211; the 1000 voices archive &#8211; which is an online archive and tool for social advocacy. The video vignettes have either been drawn from larger films on particular topics, or are short form films made specifically for the 1000 voices archive project. The Australian 1000 Voices project is linked to a research project, so the stories are forming data for the research. The US archive is well resourced with tools about the themes taken up in each story &#8211; such as laws supporting paid parental leave, or campaigns to deal with new coal power plants being built on [...]]]></description>

		<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[I am interested in the ways people use photography to capture the specific and link it to the more general and vice a versa&#8230; to do the work of coding and categorizing &#8211; so often aimed at in research &#8211; using the visual as the primary tool. So here is a cool project looking at styles of dress in different sub-groups, a collaboration by photographer Ari Versluis and profiler Ellie Uyttenbroek that lives somewhere in the borderlands of documentary, visual anthropology, pop-culture and art. Check it out: it&#8217;s called Exactitudes &#8211; to play on the specifics of each persons individuality and the linking attitudes that form a sub-group. http://www.exactitudes.com/index.php?/series/all/65/3]]></description>

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

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>
