For the October session, Rahila will be offering support, advice and guidance for artists and artworkers living and working in the SO postcode area. This opportunity would be particularly suited to those working in fields such as curation and research, or those who explore similar themes to the work of Rahila including transnational art and identity.
Mentor Mondays will take place on Monday 17th October. There are three 45 minute sessions between 9am – 12pm. The sessions will take place online via Zoom.
