Janna has previously worked as a Projects Curator at the Serpentine Gallery in London where she oversaw the Edgeware Road Project, an international artist in residence programme in a London neighbourhood. Based at the recently invented Centre for Possible Studies, the Edgware Road Project invites collaborations between local and visiting artists and the people who live and work in the area. Collaborators create 'studies of the possible' which take the form of art projects, study groups, exchanges, performances, discussions and an ongoing free cinema school. In past lives, Graham has initiated a number of radical pedagogy projects combining popular education, participatory research and the arts. Graham is one of nine members of the international sound art collective Ultra-red and works with the Micropolitics Research Group in London.
