I am an anthropologist based in Manchester UK, where I teach ethnographic documentary at the Granada Centre for Visual Anthropology, University of Manchester. Before moving to Britain I studied anthropology and ethnomusicology in Milano, Italy, where I collaborate with the LEAV – Ethnomusicology and Visual Anthropology Lab at the University of Milan since its establishment, in 2005. Here I developed my passion for photography and learned to shoot and edit video, in addition to various techniques of field sound recording. I can also work as a graphic and web designer. I completed two extensive researches on Egyptian migrants in Italy (2007-2008) and donso hunters in Western Burkina Faso (2011-2012). In both cases I used radically participant and participated methods, sharing everyday practical activities and the conception of my media projects.
