Barbara Wimmer-Bulin has been a research assistant at DIMAS with Prof Steigemann since 1 April 2024. She studied anthropology under Prof Hauschild and sociology at the University of Tübingen. Since then, she has combined social and cultural anthropological perspectives and methods with artistic research. She has developed various projects on socially relevant topics. Her work has been shown internationally and shortlisted in various open calls.
Her project on the drastic changes in a small Portuguese village as a result of intensive agribusiness, which she has been pursuing since the end of her studies, is of particular importance. So far, she has worked on it photographically and essayistically in exhibitions.
From 2021 until March 2022, she worked as a research assistant at the Chair of Media Studies, University of Regensburg and until 2023 as a lecturer there. In her university teaching, she combines alternative teaching formats in the form of artistic research and project seminars with classical knowledge transfer. Since 2023, in addition to her research activities, she has worked as a freelancer at the Kelheim Archaeological Museum in the areas of project coordination, exhibition curation and museum education.
