In this episode of the Potloodcast Floortje Smit is interviewing Olivia Ahmad, the artistic director of The Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration in London. Ahmad studied illustration at the Cambridge School of Art. Instead of pursuing a career as an illustrator, she became interested in curating. After completing a master’s degree in museum studies, she became the artistic director of the House of Illustration in London. The center was set up by the well-known illustrator Quentin Blake around 20 years ago. He wanted to raise awareness and recognition for the art of illustration.
