- London, United KingdomFull Time
Curator of the V&A's monthly Friday Late programme, responsible for commissioning and delivering a programme of performance, installation, film and debate.
The V&A Friday Late began in 1999, establishing the original format for museum late-night events, celebrating all aspects of contemporary visual culture by bringing emerging practitioners in design, art, performance and technology into the museum experience.
