I Want To Go Home
In conjunction with Light to Night 2021, Open Books returns to The Arts House with an experiential art installation that takes inspiration from Wesley Leon Aroozoo's novel “I Want to Go Home” which tells the story of a man’s recovery process after experiencing loss and his sheer determination to reunite with his loved one.
Working with Mural Lingo and The Arts House, I was the Assistant Art Director for this project and I actively contributed to the ideation and curation of artworks. My responsibilities includes aiding the Art Director in shaping the layout and design of the exhibition space, coordinating the seamless installation and deinstallation of artworks and collaborating with a team to uphold the project schedule. I also liaised with artists and other stakeholders as well as assisting in the development and execution of promotional materials and exhibition-related events.
