Biography

Christine Clark (MFA) is a descendant of prairie settlers and was raised along the Bow River in Cochrane, Alberta near the Stoney Nakoda First Nations. Christine's research and creative practice are rooted in design collaborations that promote environmental sustainability and decolonization at local levels.

Christine was awarded the Medal of Merit for her MFA in New Media from the University of Lethbridge for which she completed a project-based thesis on the design of climate change information visualizations for her home province of Alberta. This work has since been adapted into a web app that is widely used by educators and researchers.

She is currently working on the Mootookakio'ssin research project, an international collaboration exploring how to provide access to Blackfoot items held in museums in Europe using digital technologies, like photogrammetry, RTI, and web-based interfaces. You explore the Blackfoot items and learn more about the project at mootookakiossin.ca.
