E31. Sea-ing the Land with Anthropologist Kyra Lenting

Next to having a big affinity for cultural anthropology, Kyra also has a love for making art and design. She aims to explore the junction between academia, research, and multimedia technology in order to communicate complex topics through creative narratives. She aspires to work in academia or an NGO environment that supports research and the translation of social issues through creative storytelling.

She is currently on a book tour along the European coast and will visit at least 10 surf camps to exhibit her work, Sea-ing the Land—a photo and video installation, accompanied by a photobook, based on the anthropological research she conducted in Australia that explored the interplay between the land and the sea.
