In this episode, we look at how to build your creative career when you leave university. We look at ways how to get into art galleries and how to make a name for yourself in the art/creative world.
Information about myself and GXONA
Firstly, my name is Geona, I studied fashion design at University Of The Creative Arts and graduated in 2020 during the pandemic. My brand created by GXONA is my name with a play on the spelling, instead of putting the E it's replaced with an X for two main reasons, first being without the 'E' you'll still be able to pronounce the name (G-ONA) and the second reason meaning is to X out any social constructions, any social boxes and be welcoming to all. I personally try to use my art to shine a light to current situations within society, be a voice for those who feel unheard or overlooked, and also give hope and comfort to my audience.
Eventually, I want to incorporate my art into the fashion side of my creativity in a unique, new way, but as of now, I'm focusing on building my name as a black artist. Finally, like the name(created by GXONA), everything is created by me, from starting point to the final product.
