Josefine Baark

Dr Josefine Baark is an art historian and museologist. She works in the intersection between global art history and museology with a special focus on the relationship between aesthetics, technology and temporality in the 18th century. Her articles on co-creation between different actors of both in early modern global trade and in the contemporary museum sector have contributed to understandings of pathways of communication and transfer of knowledge. With a PhD in Art History from the University of Cambridge and a post-doctoral career in Denmark, the UK, Hungary and Hong Kong, her practice-as-research approach to scholarly filmmaking draws on decolonial theory to speak across disciplines to how knowledge and experience impact ideas of temporality on a global scale. When she is not researching what we do with things we see, she writes romance novels in English and short stories in Danish.
