Research focus
Informed by her practice as an artist-curator and educator, as a researcher, Jacina aligns with the fields of post-representational curatorial practice, care ethics, critical pedagogies, and more-than-human futures.
As a researcher, Jacina has worked with ACMI to explore the perceived and lived experiences of audience engagement, and how such learnings can inform the co-development of responsive methods of intergenerational engagement.
She has investigated self-tracking interventions by contemporary artists and the omniscient and omnipresent advancement of human and more-than-human self-tracking entanglements.
More recently, she has written about composting as a methodology, and together with Larissa Hjorth, Tamara Borovica and Jen Rae, explored how creative practice can be used to mobilise shared practices of care, connection and community in response to ecological grief.
Her PhD explores the conceptual and practical tensions of care, and the real-world implications and challenges of practising care within (pandemic-impacted, colonial capitalist) arts organisations. The major creative output of her PhD was caring in and through our practices. This is an online resource developed to facilitate practitioner reflexivity, through questions that consider not only the complexities of care, but also the purposes, values, and ethics of practice. (Currently under development.)
