Isaac Marrero Guillamón teaches anthropology at the University of Barcelona. He was previously senior lecturer in anthropology at Goldsmiths, University of London, where he convened the MA in Visual Anthropology between 2015 and 2021. His research has focused on spatial conflicts and controversies where questions of heritage, displacement and “progress” are at stake, and where new forms of expertise, activist formations and conditions of possibility are enacted. He’s conducted ethnographic research on the transformation of ex-industrial neighbourhoods in Barcelona (Poblenou) and London (Hackney Wick). More recently, his work has approached the relationship between indigeneity, art and coloniality in Tindaya, Fuerteventura (Canary Islands). Across these projects, he has experimented with a range of visual, multimodal and collaborative research devices including film, photography, public events, textual objects and exhibitions.
