I worked at Art on the Underground as a freelance curator from 2013 – 14.
Projects included: installations at the flagship Gloucester Road station site, programming London’s then biggest outdoor cinema screen at Canary Wharf station, and setting up a limited edition pring shop Piccadilly Circus station, as well as devising city-wide events to launch Mark Wallinger’s epic Labyrinth project built around partnerships with the Science Museum, The Foundling Museum, and the Institute of Contemporary Arts.
It was working here that sparked my passion for working in the public sphere.
