Cristina Meraklis BalmaTivola
Cultural anthropologist, visual arts practitioner, cultural activist Living in Turin (Italy).
My research interests focus on the relationships between artistic and anthropological practice, contemporary art in relation to issues of identity and cultural diversity, relationships between place, identity and belonging, multi- and intercultural theatre, media representation of multicultural society; ethnographic cinema and visual anthropology.
My intolerance for the academic world, however, makes me increasingly inclined to use my own body, camera, writing and drawing, to be in the midst of people and to transmit knowledge and interpretations that I gradually try to elaborate.
