Giulia will be talking about her journey from an aspiring nurse with a needle phobia, to exhibiting tongues around the world, to working with incredible musicians and how following what makes you say ‘Oooh!’ leads to many more Ooohs!
About the speaker

Favorite quotes from this talk See all
I knew from art school that to keep these 'ooohs' coming, you need to learn more about everything.
Whoever you're working with, no matter what they do, or who they are, it's wonderful to be able to work out what they're about and from there you can play, problem solve, explore, and take risks.
If we're talking about community, more than anthing with anything, I think that by being genuinely interested it helps to build that. By following your 'ooohs' is the best way to keep having more 'ooohs'.
