Carlo Cubero
I hold a PhD in Social Anthropology using Visual Media from the University of Manchester, where I specialised in the contemporary Caribbean and Visual Anthropology. I am currently Associate Professor of Anthropology at Tallinn University. One strand of my research has focused on developing audiovisual methods for anthropological research. I have produced numerous documentaries and sound works that have been screened at film festivals, conferences, and television. I have also served in the film selection committees of many anthropological film programmes in Europe (EASA, SIEF, FAS). I currently serve in the curating team of the Riga Pasaules Film Festival, an annual documentary film festival held in Riga. My current project is the production of an ethnographic documentary on nocturnal spaces recorded and presented in 360 degree format. This project is carried out in collaboration with the Estonian National Museum. Another strand of my research concerns itself with the complexities of Caribbean island life in a para-colonial and global context. My book Caribbean Island Movements: Culebra's Trans-insularities (Rowman and Littlefield 2017) makes a case for the concept of "transinsularism" as a means to engage productively with the contradictions that characterise Caribbean island identities. The book describes transinsular relationships within the context of anti-military grassroots activism, tourism and development policies, maritime geography, and music. The monograph is based on a long term relationship with the island of Culebra, located in the north-eastern Caribbean.
