How to curate your own life | Yen Lin Kong | TEDxNTU

"Art is all around us, and all it takes is an open mind, and an observant and appreciative eye to connect the dots."

While Yen Lin Kong is a curator by profession--among her many other roles as an educator, programme manager, journalist and policymaker--she believes that everyone is a curator in their own right. The way you make your bed in the morning, how you select your university modules, and how you choose your route back home; each of these decisions has the power to curate your life and make it a truly personalized experience. Yen Lin shares more about the lessons she’s learnt from her years of experience as an art curator and photographer and gets up close and personal with life.

Kong Yen Lin works in the visual arts sector of Singapore, playing diverse of roles from educator, programme manager, curator to policymaker. During her time with the National Arts Council Singapore’s Public Art Trust, she led commissioning projects for public art for milestone events like the Singapore Bicentennial (2019), and spearheaded ‘Rewritten: The World Ahead of Us’ (2020), the council’s largest display of public artworks, featuring 14 artists. Aside from her professional practice, Yen Lin is an avid photography researcher, focusing on Singapore’s modern photography history from the 1950s to 80s. She earned her Masters in Asian Art Histories from Lasalle College of the Arts in 2016, and was the recipient of the 2022 National Museum Singapore Research Fellowship. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx Receive SMS online on sms24.me
