études de cas pour vérifier quelles sont ces différences et comment nous pourrions travailler avec la vidéo 360º. 172 - Creating new formats – creating transcultural experiences – Tiécoura N’Daou y Anja Veirman Our paper will address the aspects of subjectivity and building narratives in the co-creation of audio-visual works during the project, ‘Mudcloth, and the making of social and artistic ‘fabric’. This project aims to create a deeper understanding of the complex intertwinement between ritual and artistic practices in the making and wearing of mudcloth in the Senufo context of Burkina Faso. The authors aim to document and visualize these practices and interrelationships. As audiovisual makers from different disciplines and cultural backgrounds, this includes questioning conventional representational formats and mechanisms of cultural reproduction and knowledge building. Each from his/her own background and sensitivity; be it as an African artist with a personal visual language or an European scholar with a sensitivity to post-colonial representational issues. This leads to fundamental questions about representation, authorship and [dominant] [visual] canons in the arts and humanities. Furthermore, the conventional division of roles between the ‘artist/cinéaste’ and the ‘anthropologist/scholar’ is constantly blurred and influenced by the input of the (Senufo) subjects we work with. We follow the idea that meaning and narratives emerge through the making processes of these textiles on the one hand, and through the making of audiovisual works on the other. The way in which we choose to visualize our subjectivities and methods is made clear during the process of filmmaking, and in correspondence with the interactions of the participating partners. Out of respect for the multifaceted context of Senufo textile practices, we searched for audiovisual formats that correspond with the complexity of the content, the personal intuitions and the cultural concerns of all project participants. Sensitive to our Senufo participants and their symbolic universe, the project was critical to ‘flattening’ representational formats and instead used layered formats to share anthropological knowledge and create transcultural experiences.
