Our Mission
CAMRA (Collective for Advancing Multimodal Research Arts) fosters interdisciplinary collaborations amongst scholars, sensory ethnographers, artists and educators within and beyond the University of Pennsylvania to explore, practice, evaluate and teach about multimedia research and representation.
We ask questions about the affordances, challenges, and possibilities of multimodal scholarship in teaching, learning, mediamaking, and knowledge production. Our aim is to support media-based research and pedagogies, with an explicit focus on: (1) providing practical guidelines for evaluation of multimodal research; (2) utilizing participatory, digital, and ethnographic methodologies; (3) creating digital and physical spaces for multimodal work to be showcased; (4) critically examining how technology is changing the processes of teaching and learning.

Reflections of Home | February 25, 2026CAMRA and the Center for Experimental Ethnography are excited to host sisters Lunise and Talie Cerin for a screening and conversation around MIWA: a in-progress film that observes the transmission and preservation of Haitian tradition through vignettes, stories, recipes, dance, and poetry. The film was also transformed into an immersive installation and performance this fall.
Join us to learn about how MIWA has thus far mobilized documentary film, spatial design, and sound as multimodal methodologies for producing knowledge about Haiti and the Haitian diaspora. |
