I am a socio-cultural anthropologist working on communicative practices in the context of transnational migration between Peru and the US. I am interested in mobile livelihoods, media practices, the sociality of transnational connections, the performance of affect, notions of belonging and membership, and the practicalities and ontologies of multi-sited fieldwork. I am currently working on a book manuscript on new media andtransnational life among Peruvian migrants in the US. On the filmmaker front, I am currently working on two projects: The first is a new documentary project on the Peruvian poet Domingo de Ramos, which I am directing and producing. This project has just entered the first stages of editing. The second project which is a collaboration with Marta Guetierrez (she directs, I produce) is titled Cineclub Waleker and explores the role of cinema in rehabilitation/re-socialization of prisoners in one of the most overcrowded and dangerous prisons in Caracas, Venezuela. I have also directed, produced and edited the documentary Waiting for Miracles (2003), which follows a Peruvian Catholic brotherhood in NYC as it prepares for its yearly procession honoring the Lord of Miracles.
