Mary Delphine is an artist and researcher in the final stages of interdisciplinary doctoral work at Queens University Belfast and is currently a visiting Phd student at CAS in the University of St Andrews. Her research examines the relationship between film, women and the city in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil through audiovisual production by women from the peripheral area of the Baixada Fluminense. Coming from a background in urban studies and architecture, Mary uses ethnographic and creative practice methodologies to probe the intersection of the real and imagined city, and the ways in which audiovisual production has increasingly become a site where intersectional, socio-spatial contours of race and gender are articulated and contested.
