Migratory Practices

The international conference Migratory Practices, part of the HAT project, was co-convened with Jane Webb and held at MMU on September 5th and 6th 2006. It explored the crossovers between anthropology, art and craft. Keynotes speakers were Professor Tim Ingold from University of Aberdeen and Moira Vincentelli from University of Aberystwyth. Internationally acclaimed artist Roy Villevoye showed his award winning film Beginnings on the evening of the 5th and talked about his work in Papua New Guinea with Asmat people.

At the end of September 2009, a selection of papers from the conference with an introduction by Amanda Ravetz and Jane Webb, appeared in Australia National University's Craft and Design Enquiry journal.
