Round 2 of my #introduction - now with hashtags! I’m an #ArtHistorian and #academic based in #Wagga in #Australia focused on regional Australian perspectives within #Islamic #art. For the #greenbeetlecompany (a collaborative #performance #research group) I make #shadow #puppets inspired by medieval Egyptian precedents (khayal al-zill) and curate exhibitions. My previous work focussed on the #history of the #Tentmakers of #Cairo, and as Sub Dean I coordinate #PhD students in the #Faculty of #Arts and #Education at Charles Sturt #University.
