Abstract
This research is being conducted to investigate the potential of ethnography to generate knowledge informed by community-centered storytelling and participation. Collaborative ethnographic methods are used to create a short multimedia video of the Madagh, an Armenian cultural tradition in Racine, Wisconsin. The purpose of this project is to produce media content that will foster appreciation and engagement across audiences using methods that empower communities to sustain and clarify their cultural values and practices. This research follows two threads: the first explores how Armenian identity and belonging conceptualized and expressed by Racine, Wisconsin's diasporic Armenian community through the Madagh tradition in an ethnographic video. The second examines whether visual ethnography furthers the values and methodology of collaborative ethnography in a reflexive paper.
