Resident Curator Profile:
Periodically I am going to post a profile of one of my fellow resident curators at Node. Next up we have Amal Alhaag.
Amal is based in Amsterdam though she has travelled around a lot. Over the past few weeks we’ve had some interesting conversations about the role of the curator – or Cultural Magician as we like to call it.
Amal classes herself as a programmer, somewhere between a promoter and a curator. She has been involved in several projects in Amsterdam where music has been the considerable focus.
We share similar tastes in music resulting in us going to see Dan Snaith (Caribou/Daphni) and Thom Yorke (Radiohead) DJing in Stattbad, Wedding with a few friends over the weekend.
She’s a very interesting character and I’m really looking forward to working alongside her for the next 9 weeks.
