He works at Chelsea College of Art, where he is a professor and director of the University of the Arts London Research Centre for Transnational Art, Identity &amp; Nation (TrAIN). His main research and curatorial interests coalesce around analyses and critiques of global and diasporic art. Goodwin has engaged with Alia Syed's practice extensively over the years since inviting her to participate in the Conversation Pieces artist talk and performance series he curated at Tate Britain in 2010.Mason Leaver-Yap works with artists to produce publications, exhibitions, and events. Recent projects include work with Alia Syed, Jasleen Kaur, Ingrid Pollard, James Richards, Alexis Kyle Mitchell, Ima-Abasi Okon, Phil Collins, Renée Green and Free Agent Media, Laura Guy, Stefanie Heinze, Taylor Le Melle, Jamie Crewe, Onyeka Igwe, Emily Wardill, Jimmy Robert, Ain Bailey, Andrea Büttner, and Oreet Ashery.Adnan Madani is an artist and theorist. He has written widely on South Asian art and diasporic cultures, Islamic philosophy, secularism, and globalization.

She is interested in how subjectivities are produced through culture, diaspora and location; and her practice therefore interrogates the protean nature of self-narration: enfolding fact, fiction, present, past, and how histories are made and unmade. Her work has been shown extensively in cinemas and galleries around the world.
