Gillian Park is director of Pavilion, a visual arts organisation based in Leeds, UK. She has curated projects with a number of contemporary artists including Mathieu Kleyebe Abonnenc, Gintaras Didžiapetris, Celine Condorelli and Melvin Moti. Alongside this work she is undertaking doctoral research at Leeds University under the supervision of Prof Griselda Pollock, through which she is reviewing the history of Pavilion, which began in 1983 as Europe’s first women’s photography centre.
