Georgina Voss

Georgina Voss will trace her route out of anthropology and industrial economics into art and design, exploring how her training in the former has shaped the latter. She will discuss how her practice has influenced her forthcoming book on complex systems, with Verso. For those interested, she recommends checking out this piece with the Guardian on the concrete industry if you want to learn a little bit more about her work prior to the workshop.
