الملخص:This paper introduces a conceptual approach called Indigenized Multimodalities, aimed at fostering collaboration among policy, science, and art. Utilizing multimodal anthropology, this approach promotes transformative scholarship and dismantles barriers between scientific fields. The methodology was developed during the “Bridging Values” global consortium project and informed a cinema-based pedagogy implemented in EthnoKino’s Doc Impact Lab for Mov(i)ement Fellows, who focus on impact design and collaborative storytelling.Drawing on Malcolm Ferdinand’s concept of double fractures, the paper advocates for recognizing multiple fractures beyond the binary of Global North and South. It outlines a collaborative pathway consisting of three steps: 1) Integrating narratives to navigate fractures, 2) adopting a relational approach to collaboration, and 3) shifting research paradigms for systemic change.The paper calls for moving beyond colonial dualities by bridging narratives across continents and communities, promoting global emancipation through the creation of ethno-fiction films, scientific outreach videos, and a blog-sharing platform.
