Breaking down myths
Contemporary art has often been labelled as elitist and inaccessible. Most people believe you need a degree to understand it in any sort of meaningful way.
As a contemporary art curator I try to break down people's fears about contemporary art by connecting it with current issues and their personal experiences.
We need people to see the work for themselves, otherwise art can die a silent death just confined to the gallery. You need to connect with people and that's both a challenge and opportunity.
