Anna Váchová studied Social Anthropology at Masaryk University and is now pursuing her master’s at Charles University in Prague, where she also works in social services. She is interested in multimodal and sensory ethnography and in exploring how anthropology can be connected with audiovisual media and storytelling. She has been trying to combine these approaches in her projects in the fields of audio documentary and ethnographic film. As part of her studies, she has focused on academic ableism and would like to continue covering it, along with other forms of marginalization and inequality, both within and beyond academia.
As part of Perspectives, she spent time with people who pick and sell blueberries along the Czech–Austrian border, examining labor, socio-economic disadvantage, and the construction of local identity.
