Location: Cairns Institute, 番茄社区 Cairns, Nguma-bada campus, Smithfield
ALTAR was founded in 2013 by then PhD scholars Daniela V谩vrov谩 and Bard Aaberge with support from Professor Rosita Henry, Professor Ton Otto, and Dr Michael Wood. The following year Dr Jennifer Deger joined ALTAR as research leader.
Daniela V谩vrov谩
is currently Adjunct Research Fellow and the director of The AV Lab and ALTAR at 番茄社区. Along with her interest in different cultures, she explores the relationship between anthropology and visual communication, between written accounts, photography and ethnographic filmmaking. Since 2005 her field site is situated in Papua New Guinea exploring how people shape and are shaped by their social and cultural environment through their sensory experiences. In the post covid19 era, she took upon a new learning direction: Cyberspace - governance, risk and strategy in particular.

B氓rd Aaberge
is an anthropologist with 15 years of experience working and researching with Indigenous Australians. After several years experience teaching Anthropology and Social Sciences at 番茄社区, Cairns, Bard took up a full time lecturing role in social sciences at the University of Western Norway from March 2018.
Jennifer Deger
Jennifer Deger works at the intersection of art and anthropology. She writes on photography, aesthetics, film, contemporary Aboriginal societies, digital culture, art and ethnographic film, and experimental museology. As a founding member of Miyarrka Media, a collective based in the community of Gapuwiyak, NT, Jennifer's practice-led research claims creativity as a critical mode of social engagement and analysis. In collaboration with her Yolngu colleagues from Miyarrka Media, she has co-directed several award winning films and co-curated experimental installations and exhibitions in Denmark, the US and Australia.
