Megan Christiansen is a Visual artist and educator who utilizes analog and digital photography, video art, sonic practices, and performance to explore the performance of gender, race, and sexuality and how these performances are imaged. She is interested in exploring how racism and misogyny infiltrate and structure the pornographic media landscape in particular and contemporary media in general – questioning how these power systems are performed, re-performed, re-articulated, and re-imagined within this circulated visual economy. In particular, she interrogates the construction and currency of white female sexuality by imaging her own participation within these oppressive structures. she is currently the Visiting Artist Fellow in Photography and Digital Media at Wittenberg University 2023/2024
