Rodrigo Salido Moulinié

I am a writer, photographer, and a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of History at the University of Texas at Austin, where I am a Fulbright-García Robles Scholar and a Contex Doctoral Fellow. In 2023 I was awarded the Leonard A. Lauder Fellowship in Modern Art at The Metropolitan Museum, where I will be working on my research project: “Covarrubias’ Crossings: Art, Science, and the Global Politics of Ethnographic Image-Making.”

My work explores the interconnections between the histories of photography, science, and anthropology. I trace the tensions between the making of ethnography and the development of new visual methods of representing otherness—photography, painting, sketching, and writing.
