Cine-Volos (2025, 2024) is a student-led project developed within the course Multimodal Anthropology (CIS-416). It explores the everyday life, transformations, and layered histories of the “Cine-Volos” neighborhood — an area shaped by waves of migration, industrial change, and recent processes of redevelopment and gentrification.
Combining ethnographic fieldwork, filmmaking, sound recording, mapping, and visual storytelling, the project invites students to engage critically and creatively with the urban fabric. Through the camera and other media tools, participants document how residents, workers, and visitors experience belonging, loss, and change in a rapidly shifting cityscape.
Cine-Volos functions both as a collective learning experiment and as an open ethnographic archive of the neighborhood. It encourages reflection on how multimodal practices can deepen anthropological understanding, foster collaboration, and connect academic inquiry with public life.
