Myrto Tsilimpounidi
Myrto Tsilimpounidi is a social researcher and photographer. Her research focuses on the interface between urbanism, culture and innovative methodologies. Current projects explore the dual crisis of representation – both the political crisis of loss of faith in representative democracy and arguments about the partial, time-bound, subjective frame of photographic representations. Another strand of her work engages with a queer feminist critique of the visual world. She is the author of Reproducing Refugees: Photographia of a Crisis (Rowman & Littlefield, forthcoming) and Sociology of Crisis: Visualising Urban Austerity (Routledge, 2017); and the editor of Street Art & Graffiti: Reading, Writing & Representing the City (Routledge, 2017) and Remapping Crisis: A Guide to Athens (Zero Books, 2014).
