“To meet with…” is the methodology pursued by Ghislain Botto and Émilie Renault, founders in 2010 of the EthnoGraphic collective, which carries out projects using ethnography as a method associated with contemporary artistic production. For more than ten years, the collective has co-constructed numerous projects in France and abroad involving a whole subtle network of participation and collaboration.
