- Abstract
The article discusses a visual anthropology project in Micronesia. The author discusses the role of visual literacy in creating and interpreting cultural images. Teddy John, the cultural preservation officer for the island of Kosrae in Micronesia used video equipment to record local events and began a training program for museum personnel regarding how documentary video techniques could be used for cultural preservation. The author notes how editing and camera techniques for the project were influenced by cultural factors and discusses filming video for the project and its reception by government officials from different islands of Micronesia.
