What's On: About the School

Wednesday 20 January-Wednesday 31 March

Real Talk

Paula Varjack

Platform/Discussion

INSTAGRAM LIVE SERIES


Curated and hosted by Paula Varjack

“For those of us who face marginalisation for our race, sexuality, class, age, gender, disability or an intersection of these, how can we use our experiences to empower the next generation of agitators?”

Multi-disciplinary artist and Guildhall tutor, Paula Varjack, curates and hosts a second series of conversations in collaboration with students from the School's BA Performance and Creative Enterprise (PACE).

These informal conversations, streamed via Instagram Live, will invite practitioners who have made things happen for themselves and who push for social change through their practice to share advice, experience and ideas with the next generation.

About Paula Varjack

Paula Varjack is a tutor with Guildhall’s BA in Performance and Creative Enterprise. She’s also an artist working in performance, video, and participation.

Her work interrogates identity and community, while making the invisible visible. She is currently developing I, Melania with filmmaker Chuck Blue Lowry, exploring their dual heritage and what it means to be foreign. Her performance and research project “Show Me The Money” – explored making a living as an artist in the UK, based on interviews with 44 artists across the country. Her debut prose and poetry publication Letters I Never Sent to You explores how love and heartbreak can be felt just as strongly for a place as for a person.

She is a Barbican Open Lab Artist, London Pleasance Associate Artist and a member of the Freelance Task Force.

Born in Washington D.C. to a Ghanaian mother and a British father, out of many places she has lived she considers east London to be "home".
