Paul Goodwin is a curator, urbanist and researcher based in London, UK. Paul's work and practice in art and urbanism revolves around the central project of researching, supporting and producing critical spaces for the creative articulation of cultural difference in metropolitan arenas and the culture at large in the UK and internationally. This project involves academic research (in urbanism, contemporary art and museology); curating exhibitions; critical writing; cultural programming and creating multiple platforms for bringing art, ideas and people into creative dialogue.
Currently Paul is Curator of Cross Cultural Programmes at Tate Britain in London.
