GEORGIA JACOB
Creative Producer | Participation, Public space. Connecting people, place and Ideas.
Hello,
I design and produce participatory art projects and interventions that inspire people of all ages. I believe in the transformational power of the arts. I have over 12 years experience collaborating with a range of arts organisations and communities across the UK and abroad.
This website aims to showcase a range of projects, methodologies and materials that I use in the processes and the spaces I design.
I am interested in the relationship between art and society. My practice is situated in the framework of socially engaged art.
My strength lies in engaging diverse people and voices, often across divides and to activate and rethink our public spaces as platforms for collective expression.
I have produced projects commissioned by the Barbican Arts Centre, Home Live Art, the Royal Shakespeare Company, UAL, Norfolk & Norwich Festival and worked as a visiting tutor for the University of the Arts London and the Pop Academy, Holland.
From 2005 to 2012 I was artistic director of StrangeWorks, a site responsive and public arts company working across mediums.
I graduated from UAL with a BA in Performance design in 2005 and an MA (distinction) in Narrative Environments in 2016.
