Ifor Duncan is a writer, artist and interdisciplinary researcher. He is Postdoctoral Researcher on the ERC project EcoViolence at the University of Utrecht.

He encounters these concerns through visual cultures, cultural memory, and a fieldwork practice that involves submerged audio-visual methods.
