Round 2 of my #introduction - now with hashtags! I’m an #ArtHistorian and #academic based in #Wagga in #Australia focused on regional Australian perspectives within #Islamic #art. For the #greenbeetlecompany (a collaborative #performance #research group) I make #shadow #puppets inspired by medieval Egyptian precedents (khayal al-zill) and curate exhibitions. My previous work focussed on the #history of the #Tentmakers of #Cairo, and as Sub Dean I coordinate #PhD students in the #Faculty of #Arts and #Education at Charles Sturt #University.

Today, I'm moving from #Canberra to #WaggaWagga to join the Daily Advertiser as a cadet journo.

Eight moves, four cities, two countries in four years. I am tired, but There's something pleasantly full circle about starting a career as a muso in the bush, then returning to start a new one.

If you're from #Wagga or surrounds, let's connect - tell me what's up!

Tl;dr I was wrong, please don't overuse CW.

That's fine, but I'm going to keep using them the way I have been until someone gives me a good reason not to. People say I use the bird app wrong too. @[email protected] @[email protected]

Microwavable flavoured rice.

Pet food in "convenient" pouches.

Also, if anyone thinks this warrants a Mastadon CW, please let me know. Per advice from @sortius and @bigjigsaw, and A LOT of reading on the subject, I'm generally dropping my use of CW outside of explicitly violent (In the broad sense) material.
