Eugenia Kisin, Ph.D. is an associate professor of art and society at Gallatin. Her research and teaching on Indigenous contemporary art foregrounds decolonization and environmental justice in the United States and Canada. Kisin’s forthcoming book, Aesthetics of Repair, considers art’s role in contexts of reparation and transitional justice. A visual anthropologist by training, she is editor of film and exhibition reviews at Visual Anthropology Review, and teaches interdisciplinary “slow looking” methods in art history and cultural anthropology. She is co-director of A Museum for Future Fossils, a transnational field school for curating and education on environmental issues in collaboration with community knowledge holders. Her recent exhibition Overflow (co-curated with Keith Miller and Kirsty Robertson) was a pilot for WetLab’s method of student-led curating, and featured work by Ruth Cuthand, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Mary Mattingly, and other artists who work on water as a connective substance. You can hear more about curating with students on this episode of Criss Cross, the Gallatin podcast.
