Nadine Wanono has a research tenure position at the CNRS: Institut des Mondes africains, CNRS-Paris1. She conducted her fieldwork among the Dogon people in Mali, where she produced several films, which were selected in numerous ethnographic international film festivals and broadcast on Arte. As Visiting Associate Professor at UCSB, she started research on the role and impact of digital technologies in visual anthropology. In 2005-2007, she conducted a seminar on the subject Singularités et Technologie. From 2011, in collaboration with Le Cube, digital art centre, she initiated an encounter to promote new forms of expression in social sciences and to encourage creation as a method and means of investigating reality. Filmmakers, visual artists, digital practitioners, researchers in the social sciences and the humanities, as well as performing artists, come together and share their research methods, methodologies and representational strategies. Our intention is to offer a rightful place to their works while creating space for dialogue between creators and the public. By encouraging the sustained dialogue and interaction with the public, these interventions allow for the transmission of multiple narratives in myriad forms: corporeal, visual, audio, and the otherwise immaterial.For two years now, this manifestation is organised in Point Ephemere in Paris.

She is co editor of Création and Transmission in  Visual Anthropology, Journal des anthropologues, n°130-131, 2012. In 2013, she became chief editor of Anthrovision, online journal dedicated to visual anthropology and visual. In 2015, she co-edited a volume Margins and Digital Technologies , Journal des anthropologues, n°142-143.

She is guest professor at the Freie Universität in Berlin for the Master of Arts Visual and Media Anthropology. In 2018, she will be part of a residence at Stereolux in Nantes

to conceive with Yoan Robin  an augmented publication  from Dogon tales.
