Lisa Anderson’s projects explore our connection to the stewardship of the planet through histories
and stories found in folklore around the world. Installations use video/sculpture/installation to
explore and engage the landscape and the built environment in dramatically changing
environments pushed by geopolitics of weather.
Honorary Professor Dr Anderson has lectured at a number of Australian and International
institutions and awarded the Innovation Fellow in Architecture at UTS; The Creative Fellow at
the University of Wollongong and the Inaugural Fellow and Artist at the Australian Museum.
Mardi Gras Festivals projects include Singing up Stones, the first projection on the Sydney Opera
House and the forerunner to Vivid.
Dr Anderson’s Liverpool Cenotaph was created in 1994 in Liverpool and was relocated in
2018and honours Australian community engagement in conflict and crisis.
