Eugenia Kisin is an Associate Professor at the Gallatin School of Individualized Study, New York University. She serves as Artistic Director of the Gallatin WetLab, an art-science laboratory on Governors Island, and is Film + Exhibitions Review Editor at Visual Anthropology Review. Her research focuses on visual anthropology, contemporary art, and environmental justice movements, emphasizing Indigenous perspectives and material culture. She holds a B.A. in Anthropology from the University of British Columbia (2006), and M.A. (2009) and Ph.D. (2015) in Anthropology from NYU.
Her work examines how art functions as a political force, particularly through Indigenous practices of relational belonging and intergenerational care. Her book Aesthetics of Repair: Indigenous Art and the Form of Reconciliation explores Northwest Coast aesthetics and reconciliation politics. Current projects include a study on black earth pigments, synthetic forms, and carbon imaginaries in the Anthropocene.
Teaching interests span slow research methods, sustainable curating, critical museology, and intersections of art, embodiment, and environment. She leads interdisciplinary courses at Gallatin and actively bridges art, science, and activism through the WetLab initiative.
