About.

Tamsyn seeks to understand the form and function of artistic practices, conceptualize their deep sociological meanings, and become an advocate of artists via her written and curatorial work.

Her research connects the sociology of art, media studies, and cyberfeminism to explore the ways and which women are “seen” in digital environments. She is a published author, was a News Editor for the online platform Sociology Lens, and taught foundational courses at Parsons School of Design on the theoretical principles of design, theory and creative practice.

Tamsyn’s thinking is shaped by industry experience. From volunteering at major film events including the Melbourne Film Festival and Tribeca Film Festival, to working on archival projects at Anthology Film Archives, to one-on-one collaboration with artists staging performances, she has been exposed to the range of media techniques, platforms, and tools of production and display.

In a curatorial capacity, she has brought together exhibitions and events linked to international festivals (Venice Biennale and Liverpool Biennale), museums (Museum of Modern Art, New York City), and research institutions (Hong Kong Baptist University, Manchester School of Art). She had also created online platforms to foster collaborative content development and display.

Tamsyn holds a BA in Cinema Studies and Anthropology from The University of Melbourne (Australia), a Masters in Media Studies, a Masters of Philosophy (Sociology) and a Ph.D. in Sociology from The New School for Social Research (USA).
