Lara has collaborated on numerous projects in and about Northern Uganda as artist, activist and lecturer since 2004.She most recently finished her MFA in Documentary Media in June 2009 with a project that follows one girl over 2 years in an internal displacement camp, all the while questioning her role of witness. She is currently continuing her work in the area as a PhD student in Anthropology at The University of British Columbia, and her dissertation project will examine disruptions in intergenerational knowledge exchange and its effect on youth in areas of long-term conflict. Lara will be pursuing art-based research methods, collaborating with youth and the elderly towards new forms of representation and research of the worldviews of those living in areas of violent conflict.
