Amedume takes on a second post

VICKI AMEDUME will become The Albany’s Creative Director in April.

She will work at the Deptford-based arts centre while continuing as Artistic Director of Upswing.

A former associate artist of The Albany, Amedume was appointed as its Associate Director in May 2021 to help deliver its London Borough of Culture programme.

Her new role will involve shaping artistic direction, with a focus on democratising work and developing relationships with artists and audiences.

CEO GAVIN BARLOW welcomed Amedume to the Albany’s senior leadership team.

“Her ideas and insight, gained from many years working creatively in our local area, will be invaluable in our efforts to help transform the cultural and creative landscape of South East London.”
