I am aspiring to work in the arts, I enjoy gaming in my free time and occasionally take part in modelling and fashion extra curricular. My favourite mediums to work in in art are painting, video work, photography and performance art.

Art
For me, everything started when I was in kindergarten. My days would be spent singing, dancing, painting, making bread and climbing every tree in the garden. After kindergarten, I went to the Music Conservatory where I graduated after 11 years of playing the flute. However, that was not enough so I continued to explore what art could mean and how many forms it could have. So, at 18 I decided to have my first ballet class. It was then that I discovered my passion for dance and performance and decided to dedicated myself intensively to the dance world until COVID-19 hit. It was during lockdown that I became interested in learning how to sew so I could create costumes to empower my performances. I started making my own video dances and films. Now, I am not only a musician and a performer, but I am also a costume-maker and set designer.

Hi! I'm Phoenix (They/Them), a 3nd year art student here at Goldsmiths. My practice covers a wide range of areas such as fibre and textile arts, film photography, drawing, and even poetry, so I love to use all the resources I have on campus. My aspiration is to become a successful artist in the future! Do not hesitate to ask me any questions about my course, the facilities or opportunities at the Goldsmiths, or general university life.
Anastasiia
University of Essex
Art History
I am a 28 y.o. PhD student with a background in Museum Studies (St Petersburg State University of Culture) and Curatorial Research (St Petersburg State University). My PhD is sponsored by Essex's Human Rights Centre. I'm here to help you start your academic journey with the UoE.
Ask me anything about PGR studies at Essex (especially PHAIS), financial support for international students, accommodation, life on and off campus (especially cultural events, e.g. museums, theatres, etc.) and what it's like to live in the UK/Colchester (e.g. what's there for people from my (and probably yours!) part of the globe, such as where we celebrate Orthodox Easter!).
Fun facts about me: travelled to 30+ countries; have a cute little chinchilla named Pyshka 🍩; learnt that all stereotypes about British weather are true yet still enjoy it here.

Hey, I’m Suyeon!
I’m from South Korea and currently studying Arts Administration and Cultural Policy at Goldsmiths. Moving to London has been an exciting adventure, and I’m really enjoying everything the city has to offer—from amazing museums and galleries to cozy cafés and beautiful parks.
Living abroad can feel overwhelming at first, but I’ve found so many great places and experiences that make London feel like home. Whether it’s exploring different neighborhoods, discovering new exhibitions, or just relaxing in one of the city’s many green spaces, there’s always something to do!
If you have any questions about studying at Goldsmiths, life in London, or what it’s like to be an international student, feel free to reach out. I’d love to share my experience!
