Flora Mary Bartlett is a visual anthropologist working with landscape, climate change, and climate skepticism in the rural north of Sweden / Swedish Sápmi using experimental visual practices. Her doctoral research, which used a range of alternative photographic processes, consisted of ethnographic work examining climate skepticism in this region, while considering environmental history, north-south urban-rural relations, and contemporary understandings of sustainability and stewardship. She has subsequently worked on interdisciplinary collaborations and visual climate perspectives through both a pilot study at Tarfala Research Station in the Swedish Arctic and an ongoing collaboration with the Nordic Museum in Stockholm, including their acclaimed exhibition “The Arctic—While the Ice is Melting,” the accompanying edited volume, and their upcoming permanent exhibitions. She received her PhD from Goldsmiths, University of London, in 2020, and now lives in the Swedish countryside.
