Daisy Moncrief is a visual anthropologist and researcher whose work explores the intersections of everyday political resistance, material culture, and digital infrastructure. Currently completing her Master’s degree in Visual Anthropology at Münster University, her research investigates how grassroots movements, feminist collectives, and diasporic communities sustain political action across diverse global contexts—from textile resistance in Santiago, Chile, to digital activism in Germany and Southeast Asia.

Bridging rigorous ethnographic fieldwork with creative, multimodal storytelling, Daisy incorporates audiovisual documentation directly into her research methodologies. Her academic portfolio includes long-term fieldwork with feminist grassroots groups, advanced language training in Spanish and Indonesian, and public-facing curation, such as her multimedia exhibition Körper im Widerstand in Münster.

Active within the European film and festival landscape, Daisy has engaged deeply with documentary culture as an attendee at prominent events such as the Berlinale, IDFA, the Leiden International Film Festival, the Leiden Essay Film Festival, and the Göttingen International Ethnographic Film Festival. She also participated in the prestigious CPH:DOX Academy in Denmark—an intensive, talent-development programme for emerging filmmakers and students featuring masterclasses, seminars, and intimate post-screening discussions with international directors.

Committed to both cultural communication and rigorous scholarship, Daisy completed a communications and production internship at Kommunales Kino Freiburg, where she coordinated multi-team messaging, worked directly with filmmakers, and contributed to programme planning. This combination of hands-on festival experience and academic inquiry gives her a collaborative, socially engaged approach well-suited to advancing visual anthropology.
