It’s been such an honour to co-host this episode with @gbrannanarchive.bsky.social and talking to the VC Charlie Jeffery! Charlie’s beautiful words about the importance of art for universities as well as for the quality of life in general were very touching for me! Tune in, it’s a powerful episode!

Enjoyed working on our next exhibition at the Fairhurst gallery and here’s a shout out to Mark Thorpe, our amazing technician, and the uni @york.ac.uk photographer Paul Shields who both did a stellar job installing the display! So thrilled to see more exhibitions coming to life on campus!♥️ #UoYArt

I so hoped to be there in person for the Czexpats annual conference but my flu had other plans; happy to join at least online and hear Czech researchers from all over the globe talk about collaborations between Czech academics and universities worldwide #kps2024

Happy times installing an exhibition with wonderful undergraduates and a delightful team of colleagues, lecturers and technicians! Jumping for joy to see artworks from @artatyork.bsky.social making such an impact around @york.ac.uk! ♥️ #UoYArt
Joy and glee all around and we’ve just finished installing the exhibition and everyone’s posing with big smiles and excited waves! The group includes undergraduate students of curating from History of Art department, lecturers Erhan Tamur and Amanda Hilliam, a very excited yours truly, technician Mark Thorpe and photographer Paul Shields. The lovely Ian Herrington from Estates is behind the camera. Lovely people, I’m damn lucky to work with them!
