Bio
My research is translated into a number of public engagement projects. The bilingual, public exhibition, Tangled Threads/Fils entremêlés was exhibited in Newfoundland communities (2017): St. Anthony (Community Partner: Grenfell Historical Properties), Daniel's Harbour, Conche, Corner Brook, & St. John's. In 2018, it will be exhibited in Labrador, and will include six related videos. This exhibition examines the system of clothing exchange at the International Grenfell Association, with attention to the role of clothing in building transnational connections & shaping local practices. Please contact me to display the exhibition in your community.
