“I am Mexico”
For two months this summer, I went back to Mexico City for my fieldwork. Back to the place which already fascinated me three years ago. Now, when writing this, I am back again in Manchester and will put together some of my notes to reflect on my lived experiences.
Listening with attention
I work with diseases transmitted by insects. I explore how anthropology, in collaboration with ideas and practices drawn from science and art, may transform public understandings of them.
In the particular case of this recording, everything started when Marian Sanmartino invited me to create something related with Chagas disease by using sounds.
