In addition to her general practice she has been a doctor to young people in periods of transition whilst a Forensic Physician to the Metropolitan Police and whilst a Medical Officer at Goldsmiths College. She has an embryonic interest in teaching the recognition of distress and the opportunities for intervention in this population.

Albano curates, lectures and publishes in the fields of art, cultural history and theory, in particular emotion and affect, memory and consciousness; and on the theory of curating. She is the author of Fear and Art in the Contemporary World (Reaktion Books, 2012) and she is currently working on a project on affect, memory and art (Palgrave MacMillan).


Successful Arts Council funding for 'Dead mother'

Dead Mother was initiated by Anne and Catriona Brodie. It aims to make concrete the hidden and ill-defined nature of the long-term effects of early bereavement.

Focusing on maternal loss in female adolescents now in later stages of their lives, film and photographs will attempt to make visible the efforts involved in successfully accommodating the absence of a mother over the duration of a lifetime, the 'imprint of absence'.

The first of the film outcomes will be shown at Danielle Arnaud contemporary art 20 June - 6 July 2014

Dead mother received R&D funding from the Wellcome trust in 2012.

Produced by Elizabeth Newell.
