Journey of a Visual Anthropologist with Ilisa Barbash, Curator of Visual Anthropology at the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology
Welcome to HMSC Connects! where we go behind the scenes of four Harvard museums to explore the connections between us, our big, beautiful world, and even what lies beyond. For this week’s episode host, Jennifer Berglund is speaking with Ilisa Barbash, the curator of Visual Anthropology for the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology, and a documentary filmmaker. In this episode, Ilisa describes her journey through visual anthropology, from film to Peabody curator. We also discuss an upcoming photography exhibition for the Peabody Museum's Gardner Fellowship, which Ilisa curates. This year's exhibition, titled Shehuo: Community Fire, features the work of Zhang Xiao, who explores the transformation of Shehuo, a traditional spring festival held in rural northern China that coincides with the Lunar New Year. It opens on May 13.
