About Trudi

I am an interdisciplinary PhD student in the Departments Anthropology and Visual Art at University of Victoria, Canada. Bringing together anthropology, art and curatorial practice, I have conducted image-based research in Jasper, Banff and Waterton Lakes National Parks since 2002, investigating the relationship between photography and national park landscapes. I am particularly interested in bringing together the methods of social research and art practice. Recent publications include “Repeat photography as a method in visual anthropology” in Visual Anthropology (2007) 20:2, and “Sensible History: Lynda Gammon’s Interval. Salvaged 20 & 21” Stride Gallery (2008). Recent and upcoming exhibitions include onsite works in Waterton Lakes National Park (2008-09), “Ethnographic Terminalia” at the Crane Centre in Philadelphia in conjunction with the AAA 2009 meetings, and “Finding Aid” at the Southern Alberta Art Gallery in Lethbridge (2010).
