Rebecca Blocksome

Rebecca Blocksome is the Andrew W. Mellon coordinator of academic programs at the Spencer Museum of Art and a first-year MFA candidate in expanded media at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. She grew up on a farm in the wilds of western Kansas, where she learned a great deal about the complex relationships between humans and animals in balanced ecosystems. Blocksome has also lived in Slovenia, Hungary, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, which have greatly influenced her thinking about the critical role of place in social and cultural dynamics. She holds an MS in philosophy and theory of visual culture from the University of Primorska Faculty of Humanities in Koper, Slovenia.
