Nadia is
a Danish-Egyptian graduate from the Visual Anthropology master’s program at Aarhus University.
Her interests revolve around the overlapping worlds of anthropology and
art, political engagement and academia. Having grown up moving between
Aarhus and Cairo, her fieldwork explored the relationship between
memory, place and affect.
Evelyn is an
emerging architect engaged in the intricate connections between design,
building, and documentation. Her practice takes a poetic approach that
embeds narrative and atmosphere into a materially and tectonically
detailed whole, concurrently exploring the relationship between design
and modes of documentation.
Anna, originally from the UK, has a master’s in Visual Anthropology alongside a background in
Fine Arts. Fascinated by the micro world of plants, and how these worlds
relate to bigger questions of a changing climate, Anna conducted
fieldwork in Valencia, Spain where she examined the practices of seed
exchange network activists, urban gardeners and farmers, and how the
lives of seeds are central to their imagined stories of the future.
Bex recently
graduated as an architect from the Aarhus School of Architecture.
Through her work she enjoys thinking across various scales and from
multiple perspectives to find methods of designing with responsibility
in the midst of the climate crises.
Originally from Newfoundland, Canada, Deirdre is now based in Aarhus, Denmark. She holds a master’s in Visual Anthropology from Aarhus University and a Bachelor of Arts from Memorial University of Newfoundland. Rooted in ecological theories of care, Deirdre’s practice combines anthropology, birth work, and mixed visual methods to explore themes of care, community, and belonging.
Ash is an
architect and researcher born in Ireland but has grown up in many
different places, from California over to Australia. Her interests
simmer between the details of sustainable design and build, where she is
currently exploring the qualities and aesthetics of reused materials in
architecture. Her design work is heavily informed by materials at hand,
found and retrieved locally, a concept that is slowly dying away in our
modern methods of building.
Lienke is a
Dutch Master's student passionate about unraveling the many layers of
filmmaking and storytelling. Her academic journey began with a burning
desire to equip herself with tools that would elevate her work as a
filmmaker. It was the film Notturno by Gianfranco Rosi which made her
realize that she wanted to work with slow-cinema really immersing into
people’s life. ‘The skin of Film’ by Laura Marks sparked her curiosity
for the different sensations as well as ways to discover where
meaningful knowledge is located, and for whom?
Gyri is a
Norwegian-American student, currently completing her Master’s thesis in
Visual Anthropology. Her personal and anthropological interests often
merge, as movement, community and social dynamics in the world of board
sports are of big interest, and how these spaces can help illuminate
broader social themes from a bodily and accessible perspective. Her
fieldwork took place in Nayarit, Mexico, where she joined and researched
the dynamics of a village surf community, and took up surfing herself.
