.Professional Statement
I am currently Curator of the Early Years and Family programme at Tate, where I’ve worked since January 2013 - mainly on the Big and Small outreach programme of events, projects and resources at Tate Britain, but also on large-scale events and drop-in programming across both Tate sites. Prior to this and after moving to London in October 2011, I worked at the Whitechapel Gallery as their Schools & Family Curator and was involved in setting up a schools’ residency with Heather and Ivan Morison and co-commissioning the Children’s Art Commission, ’Boys and Sculpture’ by Eva Rothschild. Previously, I worked as the Butler Gallery’s Education Curator, initiating Red Square, the Gallery’s youth programme, and co-editing ’What is Art’ a publication written by children in collaboration with Kids’ Own Publishing Partnership. I started off studying art history and arts management, and through my work in galleries and education have become increasingly interested in collaboration, participation, community and its relationship to ‘the institution’.
