Curator on Curator: Fumihiko Sumitomo & Cho Hyesu How can museums create deeper connections with local communities? 🌍 We are excited to share the latest edition of our Curator on Curator series, featuring Sumitomo Fumihiko and Cho Hyesu, both based in Tokyo, Japan. Sumitomo, an expert in media art and regional projects, and Cho, an independent curator blending activism with art, come together to discuss the evolving role of museums, the importance of food in cultural dialogue, and the power of community-based projects. In this two-part interview, they reflect on their personal journeys, the narratives shaping their work, and how curating can build bridges between people and ideas. 📖 Read the full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/eHC8puaY #IronVelvetArt #CuratorOnCurator #CuratorConversation #ArtForSocialChange #CuratorialPractice #CommunityEngagement #CulturalNarratives

”Art in a way is about self-discovery or self-doubt. It‘s about fumbling around and finding things, where the accidents are often more interesting and important than the successes. It’s not measurable like other things in the world, and that‘s what makes it so captivating—that’s what makes it art.“ — Rirkrit Tiravanija The Center Lies on the Outside: A Conversation between Rirkrit Tiravanija and Yujin Lee is available at IronVelvet.org! Dive into this thought-provoking discussion and gain new insights into the creative process. #IronVelvetArt #ArtistOnArtist #RirkritTiravanija #YujinLee #ArtistInterview #nextdoortothemuseum_jeju
