“I was informed of curatorial practices more from the West. The topics discussed at the workshop allowed me to articulate my position as a curator in Asia.†– Riel Hilario, the Philippines.
“I am very happy I have been participating, it made me aware, again, of the fact that intercultural exchanges and the shared development of ideas and projects are the most interesting and mind-stirring experiences in our jobs as a curator. This is definitely where the major future task of curating lies, and projects like this are the think tanks for developing new strategies.†– Nina Montmann, Germany.
