Sid White-Jones

Sid officially joined Kettle’s Yard as a Visitor Assistant in 2022 after volunteering for the Front of House team in 2020. In 2023 he also took on the role of part-time Duty Manager.

Previously Sid has worked in Arts Development and Community Engagement for Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery, and has been a guest editor for the lens-based magazine Uncertain States. In 2021 he was selected for the Babylon Young Curators programme, during which he produced the exhibition No Frost at Night; an exploration of how the archive can inspire contemporary works of art. He has a BA in Photography from Norwich University of the Arts and regularly contributes to photographic exhibitions and publications.

Sid’s favourite thing about Kettle’s Yard:

“St Edmund. Whenever I stand in front of his charred wooden figure I always think about just how many precise acts of nature needed to align in order for him to come into being. He makes you marvel at the natural world. For me, St Edmund, in all of his Giacometti-like glory, embodies Kettle’s Yard and Jim Ede’s ethos for it as an environment. As a way of life and a way of looking; of marvelling at the everyday.”
