Project Feature: Made at MAC – Celebrating Ceramics
Venue: Midlands Arts Centre (MAC), Birmingham
Dates: 20 January – 2 June 2024
Role: Curatorial Intern
Celebrating Ceramics brought together a curated selection of ceramic works created by MAC’s studio users, exploring clay as both a tactile tradition and an evolving contemporary medium. Showcased in public vitrines, the exhibition featured wheel-thrown vessels, hand-built forms, and experimental glazing that reflected the individuality and shared spirit of MAC’s creative community.
As part of the curatorial team, I supported the exhibition from concept to installation—drafting artist submission forms, coordinating logistics, and assisting with object display. I also helped refine visual layouts and contributed to exhibition writing and documentation.
This project sharpened my ability to collaborate across departments while reinforcing the role of accessible, community-rooted practices in exhibition-making.

Project Feature: Leisure as Resistance | Tatiana Wolska
Venue: Midlands Arts Centre (MAC), Birmingham
Dates: 9 March – 2 June 2024
Role: Curatorial Intern
During my internship at MAC, I immersed myself in a diverse range of exhibitions and community-driven art programmes that explored sustainability, identity, and inclusion. I assisted on Leisure as Resistance by Tatiana Wolska, a sculptural installation built entirely from salvaged wood and recycled plastic, which reframed leisure as an act of defiance and self-preservation. I supported the curatorial team in sourcing materials, coordinating with technicians, and developing public-facing components such as the Seed Library and allotment-based participatory stalls.
