Biography

My name is Nadine Monem, I work across the BA (Hons) Culture, Criticism and Curation, the MA Culture, Criticism and Curation and the PgCert, Writing for Change.

I write narrative non-fiction, theory and memoir. My work is heavily engaged with radical archival practices, reaching back in time to feel for new histories and feeling forward for new ways of kinship. In 2021, I achieved an MA in Creative and Critical Writing from Birkbeck, University of London, and my work has since been selected for various juried workshops and prizes, including the 2021 Sewanee Review Nonfiction Contest, the Tin House 2021 Summer Workshop and the Catapult Memoir Workshop for Writers of Colour. In 2022 I was named the winner of the Wasafiri Queen Mary University New Writing Prize for my essay, Salt Prints. I am currently working on my first book, a work of speculative autotheory.

Alongside my writing practice, I have worked as an arts editor and publisher for over fifteen years. I am the former art publisher at Hayward Gallery and the Arts Council Collection, and founder of the independent arts press, common-editions. I have edited over fifty books on art, architecture and theory, and have had the pleasure of collaborating with some of the most important contemporary artists and writers working today, including Jeremy Deller, Tracey Emin, Grayson Perry, Sonia Boyce, Pipilotti Rist, Mark Leckey, David Noonan, David Shrigley, William Kentridge, the late Stuart Hall, Marina Warner, Brian Dillon, Dave Eggers, Rick Moody and many others.
