Curating Experiences
From exhibitions to talks and live performances, each programme element was meticulously coordinated. Artists, curators, and performers were guided through registration, licensing, and daily updates, creating a seamless journey for both participants and audiences.
Behind the Scenes
Supporting the Artist Commissions, Gateway Exhibition, and Emerging Artists involved capturing the narrative behind each work, the logistics, and collaborating with multiple stakeholders.
This also included the press tour for the cultural site commissions, which was orchestrated end-to-end, giving journalists and media partners an in-depth, guided experience of the works. Every detail—from access to context—was designed to communicate the significance and narrative of each piece.
Every image was edited to feel “editorial-worthy,” enhancing the story and atmosphere. From exhibition setups to cultural site commissions, the visuals were curated to reflect the depth and nuance of the artworks. See examples of some of the edits the video:
