Eva Alisic and her colleagues at the University of Melbourne study the experiences of young people bereaved through family or war violence, aiming to improve support (e.g. Alisic et al., 2017; Chavez et al., 2026). In her art practice she is looking for ways to communicate the team’s research and elicit curiosity, empathy and reflection.
