The exhibition was conceived as a pedagogical and curatorial exercise aimed at exploring ethnography as a sensory, spatial, and public practice. It brought together student-led inquiries into everyday and ritual spaces in Santiago, with a focus on street markets and cemeteries on November 1st. Through this process, the project sought to expand conventional formats of ethnographic representation by incorporating visual, sonic, and spatial elements.
Approximately 80 students contributed to the development and curation of their materials, producing photographic series, soundscapes, maps, and fieldwork journals. The exhibition emerged as a collective process of assembling and spatializing these materials, culminating in a public presentation.
The installation took place outdoors at the San Joaquín Campus, at the School of Anthropology, creating an open and accessible environment that invited passersby to engage with the work. In my role, I coordinated the fieldwork process, including the organization of collective fieldwork visits, the definition of research themes, and guidance on final formats, along with some logistical aspects of the exhibition, such as printing photographs and arranging the necessary display infrastructure.
