Carlo Cubero Irizarry

I hold a PhD in Social Anthropology using Visual Media from the University of Manchester, where I specialised in the contemporary Caribbean and Visual Anthropology.

One strand of my research focuses on developing audiovisual methods for anthropological research. I have produced numerous documentaries and sound works that have been screened at film festivals, conferences, and television. I have also served in the film selection committees and jury for documentary film festivals in Europe. I currently serve in the curating team of the Riga Pasaules Film Festival.

Another strand of my research concerns itself with the complexities of Caribbean island life. My book Caribbean Island Movements: Culebra's Trans-insularities (2017) makes a case for the concept of "transinsularism" as a means to engage productively with the contradictions of Caribbean island identities.
