Artpologist Is

A collective of artists and social scientists that combine art and anthropology to engage in the visual exploration of urban landscapes. As artists, we investigate cities through visual means. As anthropologists, we use ethnographic fieldwork to situate our inquiry in the perspective of different people in changing places.

Our long-term project is a cross-cultural investigation of the inscription of class on urban landscapes through the eyes of the people. We will compare how socioeconomic class configures urban spaces and how material environment enforces class distinctions in cities worldwide.
