Curating Conversation
We talk to interesting people leading the way in the creative industries to find out how they got there, why they do it and what other people might learn from them. From artists, curators, actors and musicians to professors, freelancers, and technicians there are so many roles that fit in with being creative. We have these conversations to understand their passions from a different perspective and hopefully come away a bit wiser than we went in! Every episode features a new guest, having a relaxed, fun chat and sharing their experiences, enjoy! These conversations are hosted (usually) by the Director of RAFIKI STUDIO, Leo Sartain.
Curating Conversation is a RAFIKI STUDIO production.
Curating Conversation
Verity Babbs & Joséphine May Bailey. Aurelia Arts Festival
In this week's episode, Leo chats to Verity Babbs and Joséphine May Bailey about their latest venture, Aurelia Arts Festival.
-
Our chat covers their earliest experiences with art, their time at Oxford University where they met studying History of Art, the experiences they have had in the arts, both good and bad; from dealing with huge commercial galleries through to defending their degree choice at parties. Along with this we talked about the impact of Instagram on the arts network and the issues of privilege in the arts.
-
We discussed their reasons for founding Aurelia Arts Festival and what we can expect from their opening on the 1st September 2020. The festival will consist of a virtual viewing room, online artwork listing, catalogue, IGTV live interviews, studio tours, and more. They are working to give a platform to the very best emerging and underrepresented women* artists.

It is a really fun episode with lots of laughs, I hope you enjoy!
