About the hosts

• Luke Pendrell (Senior Tutor (Research) and Academic Programme Lead for Communication MFA)
  Luke is an artist and writer whose work explores the shifting and porous edges of our sensoria. Interposing elements of science, philosophy and the occult, he investigates the frameworks and fictions we construct to make sense of the world.
• Jeroen van Dijk (Marketing Manager)
  Jeroen van Dijk joined the Royal College of Art as Marketing Manager in 2022 and hosts external and on-campus events in London and across the globe, where he advises incoming students on what it means to study a postgraduate art & design degree at the RCA and how to develop one's creative practice into a successful application.
