Previously contributing as the Stuart Hall Foundation’s Programme Curator, Orsod has created and produced a number of projects since joining in 2020, including the recent ‘Locating Legacies‘ podcast, the ‘Contextualising Climate Crisis‘ series and the ‘Imagined Futures‘ series, and a new upcoming podcast series called ‘Living Archives: Intergenerational Conversations Between Artists’.

Through programme curation, redevelopment of our website and social channels, and representation of the Foundation speaking at our events, Orsod has a demonstrably extensive understanding of our core values, bolstering our commitment to addressing issues of inequality through public education.

“I am absolutely thrilled to lead the Stuart Hall Foundation into this next phase of the organisation’s development as its new Director. It is a great honour to continue working with the brilliant SHF team and Board of Trustees to orient Stuart Hall’s legacy towards confronting the urgent questions of our time, drawing connections between life as it is lived and the world of ideas, and creating spaces to imagine and enact radical ways of seeing and being in the world. I look forward to building upon the Foundation’s stellar reputation and strengthening our ties with all of our constituents.”
