Zoe Whitley
As Curator of Contemporary Programmes at the Victoria and Albert Museum, Zoé Whitley develops and organises exhibitions and projects with living artists and designers. Exhibitions to her credit include Uncomfortable Truths (2007), the first exhibition to commission contemporary African artists at the V&A. Prior to joining Contemporary in 2005, Whitley focused on contemporary prints and 20th century propaganda posters, fascinated by how politics are made visual. She likes nothing better than talking about art and design and has been invited to give talks at Frieze Art Fair, the ICA, the Royal College of Art, and Harvard University. She has served as a visiting lecturer at Kingston University and University of Sussex, teaching BA and MA art history. Her writing has appeared in art and design journals as well as in catalogues for the V&A, Mode Museum Antwerp, ifa and the Studio Museum in Harlem. Whitley
received her MA in the History of Design from the RCA and BA (High Honours)
from Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania. She is a Trustee of London Printworks
Trust and is a Fellow of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts (FRSA).
She held a fellowship in the inaugural cohort of the Center for Curatorial
Leadership (2008), and is their youngest ever fellow. |
