Fiona Bridger
I am currently in the second year of my Masters of Art Administration at COFA (College of Fine Arts, Paddington). I am very keen to get a job in my area of interest, which is gallery and museums management.
I took my undergraduate degree at Sydney College of Art where I majored in photo media. This gave me the opportunity to take pictures, print, edit and manage them.
Currently,
I am writing a Research paper on photography and the Iraq war.It will look at how the Iraqis are viewed in the media. It should be finish at the end the year.
Currently, I also have a internship with Accessible Arts, where I am curating Apart Box (an exhibition for people with disabilities) and I am also managing and maintaining the SEDS web site - this site!. I would like to work in a main stream gallery or a museums. Finally, I have another internship at the Artists Studio at Parramatta, so my weeks are very busy!
If you would like to contribute to the SEDS web site or have any ideas, please email Fiona at
