Cassia Clarke is a practising community archivist, independent researcher, facilitator, and curator whose passion for intergenerational dialogue reveals itself in her memory-oriented approach.
Photographs often serve as an entry point for Cassia’s work which focuses on acquiring, critiquing, and reconstructing knowledge, then disseminating it. She integrates compassionate conservation, facilitation, and knowledge sharing into her person-centred approach.
