Erin Wilkerson

She is a filmmaker and mixed media artist specializing in both research and practice. Her current research in feral filmmaking proposes a methodology for exploring the tangential histories of colonial invasion and ecological crisis emerging from the Enlightenment era separation of human and nature. Her teaching interests are in filmmaking and criticism, essay film, hybrid documentary, photographic processes, mixed media art production, and art history as a form of social and cultural critique.

She is the co-founder of the art collective and film production company Creative Agitation, as well as the former Managing Editor of “Now,” the journal for cinematic praxis. She co-directed the film “Nuclear Family” (2021), with DKU Associate Professor, Travis Wilkerson which was awarded Mención Especial at the Mar del Plata International Film Festival and is distributed by Arsenal (Berlin). Her work has exhibited in the Venice Biennale, Locarno Film Festival, the Viennale, and the Berlinale. Her follow up film, “The Second Burial” (2023), streamed on MUBI. And she has published writing in the art and cinema journals La Furia Umana, Kino!, and Membrana.

She has a BFA from Otis College of Art and Design in Architecture/Landscape/Interiors, which solidified the ecological foundation for her work. And a PhD from Liverpool John Moores University in Research and Practice culminating in the written research thesis, “Invasive Species,” which first proposed the feral filmmaking methodology, put into practice with the accompanying hybrid documentary film, “Strange Flower.” As part of her PhD coursework, she also taught global film and art practice.
