I'm officially on research leave for the 2024-25 academic year, thanks to a @LeverhulmeTrust research fellowship. I'll be finally turning my research in Burkina Faso into a book!
What connects Norway and the southern Italian region of Calabria? Air dried cod, or stockfish (stoccafisso), which is imported from the Lofoten islands and processed here in Cittanova
It's been wonderful to see Accetturesi of all generations enjoy the installations and give feedback on our work
Later this week I'll be in Accettura for the opening of this initiative, meant to share the results of our ongoing research with the local community through 360° video, and other audio and video installations
