Talks
Romina curated and moderated three series of art talks for Oxford arts organisation OVADA @ovada_gallery from 2018 to 2020.
In 2018 and in 2019, the talks took place in the warehouse space at OVADA.
In 2020, the talks moved online due to the pandemic with the aim to both raise funds and keep the OVADA community connected given the unprecedented circumstances.
The talks were conceived and facilitated in collaboration with OVADA's former Director, Lucy Phillips, and former Arts Coordinator Bethan Elford.
