Speakers
Description
Join us for a workshop with Emiko Stock.
Emiko Stock is a multimodal anthropologist working on questions of historical and diasporic erasures, silence and absence, feminist praxis, and counter-archival orientations. Using writing, images, and soundscapes to resist medium specificity, her compositions dwell between pixels and emulsions, stillness and movement, facts and fabulation. Her short films The Wedding (2021) and Commute (2015) advocate for a sensory ethnography anchored in the experimental and have been screened in international film festivals and universities. She is the co-curator of The Virtual Otherwise Film Festival & Conference and co-founder of CoMMPCT (Collective for Multimodal Makers, Publishers, Collaborators and Teachers). She is based between Cambodia and Egypt, where she teaches at The American University in Cairo. She previously taught at Hamilton College and Cornell University where she received her PhD. She is currently working on her book project For This Cannot Be Told, Written Or Seen: Cham Resonances Countering Regimes of Hypervisibility. Some of her most recent publications include a chapter in The Routledge Handbook of Material Religions and a short piece in Otherwise Magazine.
