A etnographic research project about re-engaging a remarkable ethnographic archive – including objects, photographs, sound recordings, botanical specimens, published work and fieldnotes – assembled by the colonial anthropologist, N. W. Thomas, in Southern Nigeria and Sierra Leone between 1909 and 1915. As well as better understanding the historical context in which these materials were gathered, the project seeks to re-think their significance in the present. What do they mean for different communities today? What actions do they make possible? How might we creatively explore their latent possibilities?
The Light Surgeons contributed with the visual + AV design for the SOAS exhibition + producing + making of the documentary “ ICHI marks in time”.
The project is lead by Professor Paul Basu.
