Entrepreneurial Research Community is a group of researchers who are committed to seeking out and adopting cutting edge ideas and methods to resource ourselves and others.
This video is the first in a series of one-on-one conversations with other researchers. Dr Deborah Eddy is a practicing visual artist and artist activist. Our conversation with Dr. Eddy illuminates her work as engaging with themes such as gender inequality, issues of visibility and aging, local and global environmental issues. In this conversation Dr Eddy speaks about how she gains her inspiration from local environmentalist groups such as 'knitting nanas', a group of grandmas who sit at fracking sites and knit, sew, and other forms of art as acts of resistance. Dr Eddy currently offers workshops for activists such as creating 'Protest Posters" and craftivism.
