About Susanna Brown

Susanna Brown is an internationally recognized curator with a rich history of curatorial roles at the National Portrait Gallery and the Victoria and Albert Museum, and a particular research interest in portraiture, fashion, and exhibition-making.

Throughout her career, Susanna has worked on exhibitions that have traveled to over twenty venues worldwide, including ‘Selling Dreams: One Hundred Years of Fashion Photography’, ‘Queen Elizabeth II by Cecil Beaton’, and ‘Horst: Photographer of Style’.

The author of eight books, and a contributor to thirteen others, Susanna has held advisory roles with the Royal Photographic Society and the Speaker’s Advisory Committee on Works of Art within the British Government. She regularly judges international competitions including the Hasselblad Award, Aesthetica Art Prize, and Google Photography Prize.

She collaborates with photographers, collectors, galleries, and publishers and is currently researching the intertwined histories of photography and magazines for two books to be published by Thames & Hudson in 2024/25. She is Curatorial Advisor to the George Hoyningen-Huene Estate Archives and is working with Chanel Nexus Hall on an exhibition of Hoyningen-Huene’s photographs, opening in 2024 in Tokyo.

Following Susanna’s talk will be a Q&A session where attendees will have the chance to ask questions and engage directly with her insights. Whether you’re interested in photography, fashion, design, curation, or the history of visual culture, we hope you can join us for what will undoubtedly be an inspiring and insightful presentation.
