Description
-> This episode is an extract from an interview. You will find the entire interview on this same account.
In this episode, we speak with Alona Pardo, Director of the Arts Council Collection in the UK and formerly curator at the Barbican Art Gallery in London, where she worked for 15 years. With a curatorial focus on photography and film, Alona shares insights from her exceptional career, reflecting on the exhibitions she has led — from Masculinities: Liberation through Photography to RE/SISTERS: A Lens on Gender and Ecology, and The Infinite Woman. We explore her approach to building meaningful, socially engaged exhibitions, her collaborations with international institutions and artists, and her evolving role as a curator working across both public collections and contemporary art contexts. Alona also offers invaluable advice to photographers and curators navigating the changing landscape of visual culture.
