Collaborative Ethnography in Art and Design - Ethnography has become an important method for generating knowledge that informs public art, community based practices, product design, crafts, architecture, performance, film and video. Historically, artists and designers have drawn from scholarship in the social sciences. In today’s interdisciplinary landscape, makers are not just reading ethnographic materials, but collaborating directly with anthropologists, sociologists and others to conduct ethnographic research. Art and design pedagogy is addressing this practice by fostering collaborative teaching, research, writing and project-driven curricula. Our panel, itself the result of interdisciplinary collaboration, will review and evaluate this trend. Papers engage questions such as: what are the possible benefits or limitations of using ethnographic research for art and design projects? How do artists or designers and ethnographers understand their roles in different ways? How do the different educational experiences, genre conventions, jargon and goals of interdisciplinary collaborators impact communication and outcome? How do collaborative partners negotiate the different “rules of the game”? Can the act of ethnography be art; what are the boundaries between art/design and ethnography? How can we best balance the risks against the gains of doing ethnographic research for art/design?
