film maker - video artist - writer | curator |
curator website: http://gillianmcivercurator.blogspot.co.uk/ |
I am trained as film-maker, with a background
as a cultural historian. I am particularly
interested in work that looks at ideas
surrounding place, locality, transcultural
experience, and which interrogates received
notions of culture and social constructs. |
Currently based in London UK
