Welcome to the portfolio index of my curatorial project “Fluid Curating: A Decentralised Ecosystem of Co-Creation.”
This blog series documents my curatorial development from initial ideas to a fully grounded, participatory exhibition proposal. Each entry explores a key component of the project and reflects on how course content, peer feedback, and practical experimentation helped shape my decisions.
