…looking at music from less explored angles…

Petr Nuska is a visual ethnomusicologist – an interdisciplinary researcher working at the intersections of anthropology, visual studies and music studies. He is currently based at the Department of Ethnomusicology and Ethnochoreology at the Institute of Ethnology of the Czech Academy of Sciences. He completed a PhD in Ethnomusicology and Visual Culture at Durham University (2022) concerning the musicianship of Roma in Slovakia. He has recently been awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Slovak Academy of Sciences for a research project exploring the phenomenon of Romani chords. He is a passionate ethnographic and documentary (and sometimes experimental) filmmaker whose work has been screened at festivals around the world. He is the founder of the research database visual.ethnomusicology.net. When he’s not researching music, he likes to make music.
