How does the art world work?
Chloë Sylvestre is a creative producer and project manager in the arts, focussed on public outreach and community engagement.
She works with international institutions, artist studios, local communities and schools to create alternative, challenging and dynamic cultural projects for a globally diverse audience.
"In the art world, in terms of archivists and curators and maybe studio assistants, there are a lot of women. And then in terms of Museum Directors or actual artists... it's certainly more male dominated."
Chloë also advised Proteus Theatre on the roles of gallerists and curators in contemporary art for its stage production, Indestructible.
In this revealing interview with show host Mary Swan, Chloë opens a window onto the demands of working with artists and institutions to make exhibitions a reality, and the cultural bias that sees women and other under-represented artists viewed as second-tier players in the art world.
