Session details:
We gathered for an informal, intimate evening centred around art, conversation and community.
The evening opened with short presentations from four local artists, Emma-Faye Mae Tsui, Tara Cochran, Ada Marino and Farah Allibhai each sharing their recent and current work, offering an insight into their practices and creative lives.
Hettie Judah then took a seat at the centre for an open, hour-long conversation, responding to questions about the art world, her work and the realities of navigating a creative life. The conversation was wide-ranging, thoughtful and open, with plenty of space for the questions and ideas that were on everyone’s minds.
