Channel Q is new series of interviews with artists tackling a number of practical topics covering the breadth of an artist's career. From selling 'unsellable' work, to the rules of editioning and explaining the ways social media can both help and hinder your artists' career, Artquest will cover it. 
 In this interview, artist Binita Walia explains why Twitter can be so useful to expand your network, and what is the right & wrong way to use it. Binita has been using Twitter since 2010 and has sent more than 12,000 tweets.

Brixton Revisited; Brixton Remembered is a 2nd-person spoken word vignette-style narrative in two parts —'Brixton Revisited' expresses an atmosphere of returning to a place you haven't visited for ten years; seeing the place with fresh eyes. 'Brixton Remembered' expresses the atmosphere of remembering Brixton after living there for 30 years. You could say the piece is a reflection of time and place, past and present.

This audio piece forms part of an Art on the Underground project that I participated in as a student on the RCA MA Writing Programme, which also involved leaflet design where as a cohort we worked with a graphic designer and where two pieces of my artwork will be featured. 

The audio along with other pieces will be live on the Art on the Underground website sometime in June 2024 (approx).

For the full details of the collaboration between RCA and Art on the Underground, and the full audio transcript, here is a link to my writing blog post:

Black in Academia: Staying the Course

This event series has been designed to encourage and support black students who are studying in the UK and considering a Masters, PhD or career in academia. Often, information about the steps students need to take to progress through academia is not transparent, easily accessible or well circulated.


We have created a space for black students to share their thoughts and concerns about postgraduate study whilst providing information about the steps they can take during their undergraduate and masters that will support their entry into postgraduate research.


It is estimated that of the 19,000 professors in the U.K – around 100 are black. Students from an African-Caribbean background do not see themselves represented in higher education and a postgraduate career appears out of reach. Our ambition is to change this through a series of events that will equip black students with the advice and knowledge they need to thrive and survive in an academic career.

Join us for informative discussions, exciting academic speakers and an evening to discover opportunities in academic research.

With special guests -
