In a conversational format and over three Monday evenings, artist and consultant lecturer Nadia Berri will lead and choreograph discussions with these essential players and students will get a rare glimpse into the realities and activities as well as the different pathways of these three roles: the Curator, the Gallerist, the Artist.

Event speakers

Emalin began as a nomadic exhibition programme in 2014 and in 2016 opened its permanent gallery space in Shoreditch. Emalin represents a mix of artists, ranging from young sculptor Athena Papadopoulos to Alfaro Barrington and 1980s performance artist Kembra Pfahler.

Nadia Berri is a Swiss mixed-media artist and artist educator based in London. She teaches at institutions such as Tate, Bow Arts, Frieze, the Royal College of Art and Parasol Unit. Before dedicating her time to her own artistic practice and teaching, she has worked in the contemporary commercial art world for over ten years. Nadia’s approach is collaborative and interactive. She encourages students to combine their own knowledge, cultural, social and geographical backgrounds with the art history she teaches and thus develops her students’ confidence in looking, understanding and talking about contemporary art. Over the past decade she has curated and participated in a variety of exhibitions and projects in the UK and abroad and she is the instigator of HOUSERULES – a platform for spontaneous artistic experimentation in a nomadic state.
