Curator’s Choice – 2023
Memories are synonymous with symbolism – they represent who we are, where we come from, and what we’ve been through.
Memories are more than just recollections of the past. They are a vital part of our identities and the foundation of our existence. Memories allow us to relive experiences, learn from mistakes, and cherish the moments that define us.
In this Curator’s article, we’ll explore the deep connection between symbolism and memory, and how understanding this connection can help us appreciate the beauty and complexity of our own experiences. So let’s dive in and discover the power of symbolism for memory.
Eliza Sereda
Originally from Ukraine and now in South Korea for her PhD studies in Art and Culture Management major.
Eliza received her Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design in 2019. In 2021 she received her master’s degree in Art Mediation at the Wroclaw Academy of Arts, with a thesis about symbols in virtual and natural forms of communication.
“When I’m looking back at myself, art has always been a part of my life. Coming from a family of artists from childhood I was surrounded by books on art and design and have repeatedly witnessed incredible performances and collaborations of local poets, artists and actionists. As a result, I became infatuated with creation.
I am interested in curating creative processes and thus developing culture by acquainting the general public with it, helping to find appropriate channels for its transmission.”
The current selection of Curator’s Choice reflects a vision that is open to interpretation as a medium for the transmission of feelings.
