Jennifer Higgie
Jennifer Higgie “I have had a 25-year career as a writer: as editor-in-chief of frieze magazine and, more recently, the editor of The Annual,published by the National Gallery of Australia. I am now a full-time writer who has published books, written for numerous magazines, newspapers and artist’s catalogues and hosted a podcast; I also write screenplays. I am passionate about the role of writing in relation to art and will urge students – in whatever direction they want to go – to respond to artworks with an equivalent imaginative flourish.”
