Cassia Clarke

Cohort year: 2023

Cassia Clarke is an independent community archivist and artist educator whose work bridges archival research with creative facilitation. Her practice centres on reconstructing and sharing knowledge through compassionate conservation and person-centred methodologies. With a deep belief in learning as a form of liberation and joy, Cassia nurtures inclusive spaces where heritage is actively explored, not passively consumed. Drawing from lived experience and community dialogue, she reshapes archival practices to reflect care, criticality, and cultural responsibility. Cassia works across disciplines—history, art, and education—to engage communities in conversations about memory, visibility, and justice.
