ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Visual anthropology

Visual anthropology is when people use cameras, videos, and other things that can help us see and understand different cultures. Just like when you look at pictures or watch cartoons, through visual anthropology, you get to see how people dress, dance, eat, talk, and do things differently in other parts of the world. You can learn about their food, their stories, and their way of life by watching films, photographs or listening to their music.

Think of it like this: You know how you watch cartoons or read books about different characters and places? Visual anthropology is like that, but instead of cartoons, it is real life! And instead of just watching it, people use cameras to film it or take pictures so we can learn more about other cultures. It's like a special kind of storytelling that helps us understand and appreciate different traditions and ways of living.
