Anna Kate Blair

I am a writer from Aotearoa living in Naarm / Melbourne. I write fiction, nonfiction and (occasionally) poetry, most of which explores art, architecture and place. I’m also very interested in queer desire, grief and relationships to history. My first novel, THE MODERN, was published by Scribner in September 2023.

I hold a PhD in History of Art and Architecture from the University of Cambridge. I’ve previously worked in the Department of Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and taught a wide range of subjects at universities, museums and other arts institutions in the UK, USA and Australia. I am always very excited about talking, writing, teaching and participating in events!
