This interview with Professor Anna Grimshaw was carried out during my time as a visiting scholar at the Anthropology department at Emory University (Georgia, United States) during the fall semester (2021-2022), through public funding from CAPES in the Institutional Program of Internationalization (CAPES/PRINT). We dialogued about her biographical trajectory, her experience outside academia, the relationship between theory, description, experimentation and visuality in anthropology among other subjects. I highlight that it is important to understand Anna Grimshaw's role as an intellectual engaged in training new researchers to be open to visual production and ways of experimenting and creating in their research.
