For our otis family, anthropology is about learning the self & how we are together. We asked our otis makers what anthropology is for them so we could share our stories to create a collective answer. As Instagram is iconically the home of the selfie, we answered in “moving selfie” form.
***
Otis is a collective of anthropologists working artfully & artists working anthropologically.
We call ourselves makers because ‘making’ rather than ‘taking’ is at the centre of our exchange. It is a style of making that is inherently collaborative with the world & with each other. It is more like dancing than stomping, more like drawing from than drawing on, & much more like improvisation than a reckless winging it.
We hold on tight to the belief that it is no longer useful to simply pit one form of knowing against another. Instead, we dip our collective little toes into the in-betweens of art & anthropology & ask how do objects, texts, images & sounds create knowledge together?
***
We are endlessly thankful to our otis family & their sense of play in an increasingly broken world.
This is what the best kind of anthropology is to us.
Love from otis to you.
