I teach at the intersection of art and anthropology, exploring multimodal methods, walking as research, and curatorial practices. My past seminars at Humboldt University of Berlin and other institutions engage students in experimental ethnography, blending artistic and social science approaches. Through lectures and workshops formats, I focus on creative methodologies such as sound mapping, sensory walking, and performative autoethnography to deepen ethnographic inquiry. My teaching also extends to artistic-curatorial practices with an anthropological lens, fostering ethical perspectives in artistic research on community engagement.

SEMINAR LECTURE
In the context of Prof. Dr. Regina Römhild’s summer semester course, Multimodal Forschen, in the MA program at the Institute for European Ethnology at Humboldt University of Berlin, this course delves into multimodality, exploring its history and the intersection between art and anthropology. Drawing from key perspectives in Berlin scholarship such as Stadlabor, Amo Collective and Matters of Activity—known for their pioneering work in "more-than-text" methodologies—the course will examine how different forms such as video, sound, artistic practices, walking, public interventions, and audience engagement can enrich ethnographic research. Berlin-based scholars and artists will be invited to share their expertise, providing valuable insight into these creative methodologies.

SEMINAR LECTURE
Summer semester course Between Walking Art and Walking as a Method in the Bch program of the IfEE Institute für Europäische Ethnologie Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. This course explores artistic and ethnographic methods of walking for social science research in the fieldwork. In this course we explored Walking Art and its relationship to the methods of walking explored by the social sciences and geography. We will bring the act of walking into play as an esthetic and performative practice and experiment with the relationship between body/mind and space/time. In this course we engaged with walking by exploring different methods from the social sciences, geography and art. These walks conducted along Berlin's streets discovering routes that have been culturally and artistically significant. Students had the opportunity to showcase their work in the first exhibition at the Amo Salon gallery on the ground floor of IfEE Humboldt. They also participated in the collaborative exhibition Somewhere Inbetween at the Lichthof gallery in Humboldt University's main building.

SEMINAR LECTURE
Winter semester course with the scholar and artist Persenofi Myrtsou Making sense of culture(s) through Art. Course on the relation between artistic practices and ethnography, in the context of the X-Research group of the Berlin Alliance University. Financed by Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung Berlin. This course offered an opportunity to explore shared methods in social science and artistic research. During the semester participants had the opportunity to critically respond to existing literature, meet scholars and artists who are applying ethnographic and artistic methods in their practice. We also experimented hands-on with hybrid methods, such as sensory walking, soundscape recordings, creative nonfictional field notes and performative autoethnography. Students had the opportunity to publish their contribution in a sound-piece radio in NomadicRadio Berlin and multimodal exhibition in Studio106LA, Los Angeles U.S.A .

SEMINAR LECTURE
Course in the program Micro-curatorials at SACO / Contemporary Art Biennial, Antofagasta, Chile 2022 and 2024. Course Curating in migratory zones. The course aimed to introduce, reflect and discuss processes of sensitization in migrant and vulnerable territories, from an anthropological and ethical vision on how to collaborate with the other from a decolonial and pluralistic perspective. The overall goals were to artistically and ethically sensitize the curator on how to collaborate respectfully with communities creating social/artistic projects from a postcolonial and decolonial point of view. It was based on ethnographic strategies for an adequate, collaborative, positional and non-extractivist approach.

SEMINAR LECTURE
The lecture Relationship between art and anthropology: An ethnographic and creative approach, was held in the Visual Art department of the University of Chile. The lecture aimed to provide different ethnographic and field tools, from an anthropological approach for artistic research of art students in their creative processes. Through sound research methods together with art theory and anthropology, the lecture aimed to innovate in the artistic research of students and thus open new paths in both individual and collective creative processes.
