Cool!

Well yeah.. I am an aspiring artist who wants to see as many inspirations as possible. I am still finding my style in doing art, but I sure as hell love writing. So while we are being taught on museum set ups and galleries, we are also given a chance to express our writing prowess by writing for the museum’s website. Also, our millennial skills are put to good use by focusing on their social media outreach. I love every bit of it.

Community Interviews as a rare opportunity

During my short experience in the Art and Culture Program of IGS, I was tasked to conduct interviews in the community and record their responses in an organized scheme. I have the very rare opportunity to interact with a local community to gain insight into their culture. My IGS mentor consistently reminded me to enjoy the process and open myself to different perspectives, because of the culture differences. I took his advice, and I am proud to have successfully completed this internship! Can’t wait to have another one, but on a different region, maybe Southeast Asia, next time.

Yahooooooo

This internship is so cool! This is not about the boring stuff in museums. We got to see real-life relicts and actual people who have own testimonies on them. This is cooler than National Geographic, TBH.. My co-interns are also too amazing. We spent our free time exploring our host city and nearby destinations. I am in love with Buenos Aires. If I had known it earlier, I would have taken this internship years ago.
