The Society for Visual Anthropology

The Society for Visual Anthropology is a professional organization dedicated to exploring the ways visual media—such as photography, film, and video—can be used to study and communicate human cultures. It brings together anthropologists, filmmakers, and artists to share research, techniques, and projects that help us understand diverse societies and social issues through visual means. The society promotes ethical practices and creative collaboration, aiming to deepen our understanding of cultural experiences and narratives globally. Its work contributes to both academic research and public awareness of human diversity through visual storytelling.
