Melanie Crean is an artist and educator who researches systems of control that are read onto site and body, exploring how these structures of power can be challenged, reimagined and re-patterned.
She experiments with narrative, representation and voice through forms including photography, video, performance, participatory aesthetics, speculative design and open curriculum. She frequently works collaboratively to reimagine new ways of being together and reclaim contested spaces, whether those spaces are the historical archive, the built environment, or one's own body. She is an Associate Professor of Art, Media & Technology at Parsons School of Design in New York City.
