About me
I have over 10 years of gallery and agency and in-house PR and Communications experience in the UK and MENASA arts and culture landscape, working with commercial galleries, non for profits, museums and arts organisations. I have led on press and social media strategy, as well as press and influencer relations, branding, digital marketing, programming, events, media and VIP partnerships, and as an ambassador for audience development and cultural place-making to unveil an arts district expansion project.
Projects
- Safina Radio ProjectSafina Radio Project is an itinerant online broadcasting platform, each edition acting as a roving stage for conversation and performance, working alongside contemporary art events. The project adopts radio as a format for exploring subjects and concepts that relate to the aesthetic, social, cultural and political. The project binds different realities and experiences prompted by the site, context and its curatorial pretexts. The first edition took place on the waterways of Venice at the 56th Venice Biennale. The second at the Dhaka Art Summit 2016 in Bangladesh.
