ArkTalks // co-editor and graphic designer

ArkTalks aspires to revive the spirit of the ARK magazine, which was run by students at the Royal College of Art from 1950 to 1978. Born out of a student initiative, ARK evolved into one of London’s most recognized art magazines shortly after its inception, featuring contributions from luminaries such as Ralph Rumney, Lucio Fontana, Alison and Peter Smithson, among others. ArtTalks inherits the distinctive qualities of this historical publication, as a student-run magazine filled with art and writing enthusiasts and celebrates its enduring resonance even after more than five decades.

Drawing inspiration from ARK’s profound exploration of social context and its impact on art, our magazine engages artists, critics and curators from diverse backgrounds and nationalities. We invite them to ‘talk’ to us, drawing from their unique experiences and viewpoints within the thematic focus of each issue. These dialogues are to celebrate personal narrative in art and underscore art’s capacity as a unique language capable of delving into realms far beyond the limitations of verbal communication.
