Wounds don’t speak for themselves. Suffering and migrants’ healing strategies through ethnography-based art practices

PUSSETTI, Chiara. Wounds don’t speak for themselves. Suffering and migrants’ healing strategies through ethnography-based art practices. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.58, pp.811-827. ISSN 1414-3283.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1807-57622016.0090.

In this photo essay I present “Woundscapes. Suffering, creativity and bare life”, an ethnography-based art exhibition collaboratively produced by 11 anthropologists and artists from different countries, whose work focuses on the reproduction of post-colonial gazes and stereotypes and individual memories that are all connected to their respective diasporic dynamics and to immigrants’ healing strategies in the wider therapeutic market of Greater Lisbon.
