Aside from conventional panels and roundtables, EASA2014 provided spaces for producing and presenting ethnographic works that were not exclusively based on text-based conventions, but constituted through visual, acoustic, performative, and other forms of experience-based knowledge. We called these spaces Laboratories in order to recall experimental practises and activities. Laboratories aimed to explore methodological and epistemological possibilities of carrying out and presenting anthropological research using non-text based forms, hopefully with an interactive and collaborative component.
