ANFAA is a team of scholars and associated artists studying and incorporating new subversive narrative structures and audio-visual practices that could convey alternative ways of arranging, telling, feeling, and thinking about the world.
We seek to go beyond western, hegemonic lenses, by using multimodal apprehension - cinethnographic, sensorial, anthropological, photographic, artistic, sociological, textual, political, and poetical accounts... By doing so, we wish to question the politics of normativity, colonization, and ethnocentrism implied in dominant audiovisual practices.

we foster a hub in Marseille, France for a non-hegemonic audiovisual anthropolgy storytelling theory & practice
