Empowering Artists

For this episode of the podcast, I met up with Kaia Charle s and Jemima Burrill - the curators at the Greenwich Peninsula site which includes the Now Gallery, to talk about their work commissioning art for the gallery and the public spaces on the estate. In summer 2019 a new area of the development will open to the public and include riverside walks which include public art installations. Known as The Tide, there is an elevated walkway by the designers of the High Line in New York, a 27m picnic table with built in barbeque spots by Studio Morison, and sculptures by Allan Jones and Damien Hirst. The festival opens 5-7 July and 12-14 July 2019 and it's going to be worth a visit http://nowgallery.co.uk/ https://www.greenwichpeninsula.co.uk/ Follow me on Instagram @thegitajoshi
