Mr Shanay Jhaveri has one of those CVs that reads like a “fantasy career” manifesto. Brown University for undergrad, PhD at the Royal College of Art, then on to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to become the assistant curator of international art. In 2022, Jhaveri was named the Head of Visual Arts for London’s Barbican Centre, a multi-disciplinary arts complex (the largest of its kind in Europe) known as much for its imposing physical presence as its championing of new artists and public events. He also lives in the Barbican Estate – a large brutalist residential complex in a part of East London that was destroyed by the Blitz during WWII – which was designed in the 1960s, built in the 1970s and opened in the 1980s with, according to Jhaveri, “immense aspiration by the city of London to build a progressive residential estate, which would have at the heart of it an arts centre.”
