Lizzy Emery is a writer, artist and feminist researcher based in Adelaide, South Australia. She is currently lecturer of Textiles Studio at The University of South Australia, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Visual Arts with First-Class Honours. Her research focuses on the subversive use of textiles as a creative strategy of resistance within the history of women’s domestic labour and in feminist movements. Current research interests include nineteenth century embroidery as a practice of selfhood, radical crafting, Aboriginal women's basketry, feminist art of the 1970's-1980's, anarchist-feminist art collectives and queer art practices.
In her work as an artist Lizzy also facilitates a range of community based art workshops and projects. Her pedagogical approach is based on creating non-hierarchical encounters between artist and participant to facilitate meaningful experiences of art-making where both parties learn from each other.
As an academic and artist Lizzy's work is inspired by the politics of feminist-crafting, intersectional feminism, queer theory, punk-rock, and the work of Michel Foucault and Hélène Cixous. She is currently a Doctor of Philosophy candidate at Flinders University in the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.
