🎙️🇮🇹 The Venice Biennale Fellowship – A Career-Changing Opportunity for Emerging Arts Professionals
In this special bonus episode of All About Art, I’m sharing some incredibly exciting news: NXT GEN is partnering with the British Council to send one of our members as a Fellow on a fully funded, month-long residency to the Venice Biennale 2026! If you’re an emerging arts professional within the first 5 years of your career, this episode is essential listening.
I walk through everything you need to know about the Venice Biennale – its 130-year history, the wild energy of opening week (think: superyachts, Rick Owens airport raves, and endless Aperol Spritzes), and what Fellows actually do during their residency. You’ll spend half your time working as an Exhibition Ambassador at the British Pavilion and the other half pursuing your own independent research or creative project. It’s fully funded, includes mentorship from me, and could genuinely be a career-defining experience.
I also share the moving story behind the 2026 edition, “In Minor Keys,” conceived by the late curator Koyo Kouoh – the first African woman to curate the Venice Biennale. Her vision of art as quiet resistance and emotional transformation is being realized by her curatorial team, and as a Fellow, you’d be part of bringing her ideas into conversation with visitors from around the world.
Whether you’re thinking of applying, know someone who should, or simply want to understand more about how opportunities like this can shape careers in the arts, this episode is for you.

📚 Book Review: Inner Light - Chris Levine on Portraiture, Meditation & Photographing the Queen
On this week’s episode of All About Art, I’m reviewing one of the most beautiful and meditative art books I’ve encountered: Inner Light by Chris Levine. This stunning monograph chronicles Levine’s most iconic portrait work, from Queen Elizabeth II and Kate Moss to Grace Jones and the Dalai Lama, and offers rare insight into his deeply spiritual creative process. I explore how Levine strips away the distractions of fashion and styling to capture something much deeper: the inner essence, the stillness, the light within his subjects. From the story of how he picked out the Queen’s outfit for their shoot (!!!), to photographing the Dalai Lama at a Heathrow hotel while in rehab, the book is full of intimate, behind-the-scenes moments that reveal both the artist’s vulnerability and his vision.
Excitingly, I also share an exclusive interview with Chris himself, where we discuss his relationship to art history, how his practice extends far beyond portraiture into experimental technology and meditation, and what it’s like to overcome imposter syndrome at career-defining moments (I also ask the cheeky question of whether he had to sign an NDA when photographing Banksy).
Thank you Chris for coming on the podcast!

From Art in Hotel Rooms to Global Galleries: How Minor Attractions Is Changing the London Scene + exclusive interviews
On this week’s episode of All About Art, I take you behind the scenes of London’s vibrant art scene during Frieze Week to one of the most popular alternative art fairs in town: I visit Minor Attractions art fair, launched three years ago with a mission to make contemporary art more accessible and community-focused. In the episode, I chat with a gallerist, an artist, and one of the fair’s co-founders about how the fair creates a dynamic space for art, performance, and nightlife - all housed within the unique setting of the Mandrake Hotel. I explore how Minor Attractions stands out from larger fairs with its affordable participation fees, free-form exhibitions, and lively, nightclub-like atmosphere. Plus, I share my thoughts on the fair’s role in reimagining what an art fair can be and why it’s capturing the attention of the London art scene.

Exhibition Review: REFLECTIONS — SANGAT AND THE SELF at without SHAPE without FORM
🧘♀️ In this episode of All About Art, I take you along to a recent exhibition visit to REFLECTIONS — SANGAT AND THE SELF with works by Jasmir Creed & Roo Dhissou, followed by an exclusive interview with without SHAPE without FORM Artistic Director Deep Kailey.
Join me as I venture out to Slough to visit the newly refurbished exhibition space and explore the duo show centered around three Sikh concepts: Simran, Shabad, and Sangat. Following my experience of the exhibition, I had the privilege of sitting down with Deep to ask her my questions about decentralizing art and culture from London, how Sikh concepts manifest in the general exhibition programming at without SHAPE without FORM, and advice she would give to anyone starting their career in culture today.
The exhibition is on view until May 2nd, 2026! So there is plenty of time to take a trip to Slough to experience it for yourself.

👩🎓 Why do art history university programs often fall short in preparing students for the real world?
Inspired by conversations with students, educators, and industry professionals, (especially the latest interview episode of All About Art with Eleanor Getting and Amelia Stallworthy) in this episode I explore what’s missing from traditional curricula and how we can rethink art education to better equip future artists and scholars for the real world not just academic merit.
Whether you're an art history student, educator, or you’re someone who’s curious about how art education shapes careers, please tune in. I feel like we should all be a part of this conversation, especially when it comes to urging universities to add even just one or two lectures to their curriculum that focus more on the practical uses of arts-related degrees.

Welcome to another episode of All About Art! In this episode, I sat down with Eleanor Getting and Amelia Stallworthy, who directed the Norman Rea gallery, the only student-run gallery in the UK which is located at the University of York.
I speak to Eleanor and Amelia about how running this gallery at uni has positively impacted their careers now, and what it means to gain professional experiences early on. We talk about the ins and outs of how a student-run gallery functions, looking at how they got into their leadership roles and what it looked like when they were in them.
This episode is produced in the hopes that maybe, if you are a student listening in, or if you are working at a university, that this can inspire more people to think about starting these initiatives that give tools to students BEFORE they graduate from their degrees in arts subjects.

✍️ Inspired by a recent essay by Damien Davis in Hyperallergic, the latest Hot Take / Art Break episode of the All About Art Podcast explores if the 50/50 split between artists and galleries is justified, or if it needs rethinking.
For this episode, I cover what Davis writes in the article, as well as the reactions of others in the art world that I saw on social media - along with comments such as “If you cant afford being an artist, do something else.” (which had my BLOOD boiling!)

The book offers a fascinating analysis of the history, current status and possible future of Hong Kong as an international art hub, written by a local journalist who has reported on the city’s cultural landscape for many years.
I speak to Enid about her experience as a journalist, and her current role as the Arts Editor for the South China Morning Post. I ask her about why she felt now was an important time to be writing this book on art in Hong Kong. We chat about her thoughts on the emergence of Art Basel Hong Kong, which started in 2012, along with the opening of the museum M+ in 2021 (to which she dedicates a whole chapter in her book). We talk about the artists of Hong Kong and she delves into some of their stories, along with where she sees the future of Hong Kong’s art scene, and so much more.

Episode 70 of ‘All About Art’: AI & The Art Market with Jo Lawson-Tancred (in collaboration with Lund Humphries)
In this episode, I sat down with Jo Lawson-Tancred, author of AI & The Art Market, a book recently published as part of the Hot Topics in the Art World Series by Lund Humphries and Sotheby’s Institute of Art. The book offers an approachable introduction to AI for art-market professionals, considering AI’s impact on and possible applications within the art world, whether as a business tool or as an artistic medium.
I speak to Jo about the facets she explores in her book, as she writes about the many different ways AI can be implemented in the arts - so we discuss how she approached it. I ask her about what led her to even starting to think about merging the fields of AI and Art. We chat about how different artists are working with the technology, what she foresees in the future of AI and technological advancements, and so much more.

Episode 69 of ‘All About Art’: The White Pube: Discussing ‘Poor Artists’ & Why The Art World Needs To Change - with Gabrielle de la Puente and Zarina Muhammad
In this episode, I sat down with Gabrielle de la Puente and Zarina Muhammad, the co-founders of The White Pube, a platform launched in 2015 where they share reviews, essays, social media posts and memes critiquing the elitism and inaccessibility of the art world.
The name the duo chose, The White Pube, is a play on the White Cube, a globally successful mega contemporary art gallery. It is also a tongue-in-cheek reference to the display format in which contemporary works of art are generally shown. Pristine white walls, wood or concrete floors, high ceilings… space of veneration or quiet contemplation, sterile where nothing other than “the art experience” can happen. The provocative name has even deeper layers when considering the references to white supremacy and ageism within the arts, as well - so listen on to hear me speak to Gabrielle and Zarina more about that later in the episode.
We chat about how they got started as an art critic duo, and how they have been working together and successfully collaborating for nearly a decade - having never had ONE fight (well, in this interview you will hear Zarina say that they did have a fight once… but it was about art).
I also got the pleasure of speaking to Gabrielle and Zarina about their recently published debut book called ‘Poor Artists’, in which an aspiring artist has to navigate money and power, and is faced with the decision of whether she cares more about success or staying true to herself. I ask Zarina and Gabrielle to delve into their writing process as co-authors, and to tell me more about what the experience was like to conduct interviews and weave them into the narrative, as the book integrates anonymous interviews with real people in the art world into its story. We touch on how writing the book has impacted their view on the arts sector, what the future holds for the White Pube, and so much more.
