Chris Hill is a media curator, artist and educator, who is currently teaching and Associate Dean in the Film/Video School at California Institute for the Arts (since 2012).

Hill received an MFA in Media Study and Photography from SUNY Buffalo (1984), and from 1984-1996 was Video Curator at Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center in Buffalo. During this period she was a co-founder of Squeaky Wheel Film & Media Arts Center and also served as board president during the start up years of BCAM, one of Buffalo’s public access projects (1990-1993). Hill also curated a 17-hour video art collection Surveying the First Decade: Video Art & Alternative Media in the U.S. (1968-1980) (1996) that has been distributed to museums and universities internationally by the Video Data Bank; she also edited the accompanying resource guide Rewind.

Hill taught in the Video/Performance Studio at the Technical University in Brno (1997), where she produced Walking Trips in Czech Lands (1996), a series of interviews with nine artists, documentarians and editors involved in the Czech “parallel” culture prior to 1989. Afterwards, she was an Associate Professor of Media Arts at Antioch College, Ohio (1997-2008), where she co-directed four Summer Documentary Institutes (1998-2001), including one (with Keiko Sei) on Post-1989 Documentaries in East Central Europe (2000). From 2008-2011 Hill served on the Executive Collective of Nonstop Institute, a faculty/alumni collaborative educational initiative (2008-2009) in response to the closure of Antioch College, and subsequently an arts and education non-profit (2009-2011) in Yellow Springs, Ohio.

Her recent publications and media work have investigated documentary media on the U.S. incarceration crisis (Habeas Corpus: You Have the Body), contemporary artists’ work that re-embodies experimental film and grassroots video projects of the early 1970s, tactical media initiatives in response to an educational community emergency, and beekeeping.
