She has also advised numerous artists, galleries, architects and art collectors, in the MENA and African regions.

She and Zuckerman discuss having a “glamorous” life, not knowing what to call yourself, art as a means to know what is going to happen, cultural cross roads, the creativity of the edge, trying to find order, the work of Marwan Sahmarani, how trauma impacts artwork, art as documentation, trusting your gut, how to work things out, the beauty of being imperfect, the role of empathy, what we took for granted, and how art cannot lie!
