About the speaker

This month, we are exploring the global theme of RHYTHM.

Rhythm is the heartbeat of creativity. It provides the structure we crave; a framework for ideas to take shape. By recognising patterns and breaking them, we can find our unique voice.

MEET THE SPEAKER: OLIVIA MELKONIAN

We are thrilled to have Olivia Melkonian as our speaker this month. Olivia is a producer, DJ and sound artist who has worked across radio, record labels, film production and the cultural sector. Invested in projects of cultural preservation, Olivia archives dialect, ritual and collective memory with a focus on family and the home. Through her practice, she presents memory as a tool of resistance, and recording as an act of revolution.
