Curation
Photo collages are not only about putting different pictures together, however, it is also how the pictures speak to each other to tell a cohesive story. The same could be said when curating exhibitions. Join artist-curator Zulkhairi Zulkiflee as he shares his insights and experiences in the intriguing world of photo collage and art curation, along with 30-year-old research officer, Kavita.

About photo collage and curation
A process of art creation through cutting, glueing, pasting and overlapping, photo collages (also known as photomontage) uses an assemblage of existing art to create a new whole. Juxtaposition of seemingly random elements in photo collages encourages the audience to think about the relationship between the grouped objects.
Stemming from the Latin term, cura (to take care), curation refers to the act of organisation, care and management of assets and objects. In museological terms, curation involves the selection, organisation and care for artworks, historical artefacts and other cultural objects. In contemporary art, curators are often also responsible for the conceptualisation, research and writing of an exhibition.
