Victoria is a writer and lecturer in modern and contemporary art. In 2021 she set up The Gallery Companion, a Substack publication which explores the ideas about life, culture, history and politics that you find in art. She aims to break down the perception that contemporary art is hard to understand by avoiding confusing art speak and talking about it in language that makes sense. &amp;nbsp; In today's episode:   Why Victoria's teaching, writing and podcast matters in engaging discussion and debate in a respectful way   Finding the things we have in common to bring people together and increase understanding   Personal experiences of rejection and how that impacts the work   What you can get from art if you allow yourself to be unsure   How the Gallery Companion got started   Building your voice from starting small and imagining you're writing or speaking to one person   Not chasing the money and finding the value in other ways   Joys and opportunities of podcasting   Investment in each other and generosity of spirit.   Being okay with uncertainty   &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Mentioned in the episode: The Witch Trials of JK Rowling, Megan Phelps Roper https:\/\/www.thefp.com\/witchtrials Substack - https:\/\/substack.com William Kentridge https:\/\/www.royalacademy.org.uk\/exhibition\/william-kentridge &amp;nbsp; Victoria's links: https:\/\/www.thegallerycompanion.com https:\/\/www.twitter.com\/thegallerycomp https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thegallerycompanion https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thegallerycompanion https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/dr-victoria-powell\/ &amp;nbsp; Sarah's links: Reach out to me on my Linked In page: www.linkedin.com\/in\/sarahfoxcoach\/ Sign up to my newsletter: https:\/\/sarah-fox-coaching.mykajabi.com\/newsletter Find me on Twitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/SarahFoxCoach Find me on Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CksnPQ2IMr1\/ My website: https:\/\/sarahfox.co.uk\/ &amp;nbsp; Grab the direct link to this episode and share with a friend ","author_name":"Do Good and Do Well","author_url":"https:\/\/www.sarahfox.co.uk\/","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/27416733\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/155737440"}
