Manufactory × ArtReview: Hannah Pezzack & Aram Masharqa in Conversation with Fi Churchman & Mazzy-Mae Green
Following Manufactory 2026 and on the occasion of Frieze Week, join writers Hannah Pezzack and Aram Masharqa in conversation with Fi Churchman, Editor of ArtReview, and Mazzy-Mae Green, Programme Director of Park Royal Design District, reflecting on their time as the inaugural writers-in-residence for the Manufactory × ArtReview Writer’s Residency.
For this special conversation at Queensrollahouse, Pezzack and Masharqa will discuss the writing that emerged from their residencies, the encounters and research that informed it, and the possibilities and complexities of writing from within a place as layered as Park Royal.
Moderated jointly by Churchman and Green, the conversation will consider writing and criticism alongside questions of place, industry, cultural production and what it means to encounter creative practice within the wider ecology in which it is made.
The conversation will be followed by an audience Q&A.
Doors & bar open: 5pm
Conversation: 6.30pm
The conversation will last approximately 45 minutes and will be followed by an audience Q&A.
Copies of the new texts by Hannah Pezzack and Aram Masharqa, developed during their Manufactory × ArtReview residencies, will be available to read at the event and for audiences to take home.
