Amber Kim
Research Events and Communications Coordinator
a.kim@vam.ac.uk
I facilitate the effective management and delivery of VARI’s diverse portfolio of research events and associated project programming, as well as internal and external communication of project outputs and other activities arising from the V&A Research Institute, National Art Library and Archives.
Through MA History of Design at V&A/RCA, I investigated the role of cultural institutions in educating the public about environmental and social sustainability through fashion exhibitions and learning programmes.
I have experience in organising creative research events with academics, artists and designers, to build a community of creatives who explore their (hi)stories through crafts and design.
