Biography
Barbara Glowczewski (born 1956 in Warsaw) arrived in Paris at a young age. While a student at Vincennes University, she made several experimental films in 1976–77, sometimes accompanied by live performances that emphasized the body. She then left for Australia in 1979 and, working for over thirty years as an anthropologist and CNRS researcher (now emerita), dedicated extensive periods to fieldwork in the Central Desert and other regions, focusing on the myths, rituals, and dream practices of the Warlpiri people.
