As a curator, this experience compelled me to reconsider who we have been centering in the design of art spaces.

Through ART:DISABILITY .dis.singapore program Next Stop: Together at Singapore Art Week ,Isabella “Issy” Lim’s Silent Studio was not merely a participatory photography space it was a structural shift.

I am used to thinking about narrative, display, and context. Yet inside Silent Studio, methodology emerged from lived experience. Communication was not voice-led. It relied on gesture, rhythm, repetition, and heightened visual sensitivity.

As a Deaf photographer, Issy does not ask to be accommodated. She recalibrates the interaction itself.

Personally, this moved me. It reminded me that inclusion is not about inviting others into an existing structure it is about shifting the center of that structure.

Perhaps the question for me is no longer:
Is our institution inclusive?

But rather:
Am I willing to let go of the norms I once considered neutral?

Sincere thanks to National Gallery Singapore for the opportunity to present and engage in a multi-perspective discussion on Basoeki Abdullah. Special appreciation to Kathleen Ditzig and Jying Tan for their generous support and facilitation of this panel.

Bringing together curators Sally Texania & me, this panel presented research and contemporary curatorial projects that approached Basoeki Abdullah from different perspectives yet remained grounded in a shared conviction: that although Basoeki Abdullah has passed away, his works continue to be discussed, reinterpreted, and remain deeply relevant today.

My presentation explored “Basoeki Abdullah: A Maestro in Continuity,” while Sally Texania reflected on works from the collection of the Presidential Palace of Indonesia and the Fine Arts and Ceramics Museum Jakarta, together reaffirming that Basoeki Abdullah’s legacy is not fixed in the past, but continues to live within contemporary artistic and curatorial discourse.

Yesterday was my birthday. Note just a date, but a line in an ongoing journey.

My birthday cake 160 x10 cm.
160 cm is not merely the length of a cake.
It is a timeline of steps already taken, of a journey that is not always straight,yet always moving forward.

Its 10 cm width reminds us that life does not need to expand in every direction;it asks instead for focus, depth,
and honesty toward the values we choose to hold.
This cake is not circular, because life does not endlessly revolve around the same point. It stretches forward, like the process of learning of growing, sharing, and making space for many hands to celebrate together. Along those 160 cm, a prayer is carried:that age may not only add numbers,but also meaning, courage,and commitment to what truly matters.

Yesterday’s birthday was not about more candles,but about the awareness that the journey ahead is still long and worth walking together.

Dengan rasa syukur akhirnya saya menyelesaikan hutang adat yaitu pemberian marga yang terlaksana dengan tatacara Adat Batak Angkola. Menerima sebuah marga yang bukan sekedar sebutan tetapi mempunyai makna filosofis.

Saya memilih warna ungu yang saya kenakan adalah warna perenungan tentang belajar menenangkan diri, mendengarkan, dan melangkah dengan kebijaksanaan. Warna ungu mengingatkan saya bahwa setiap peran baru lahir dari kesadaran, bukan tergesa-gesa.

Kancing berbentuk hati saya pilih sebagai tanda bahwa penerimaan adat selalu berakar pada kasih. Bahwa di balik aturan, silsilah, dan upacara, ada cinta yang menyatukan manusia dengan manusia, dan manusia dengan leluhurnya.

Songket Batak yang melingkari langkah saya adalah pengingat bahwa saya berdiri di atas warisan panjang tentang keteguhan, kebersamaan, dan hormat pada asal-usul.

Hari ini saya dipanggil dengan nama baru: Nyonya Simatupang Boru Pane. Sebuah nama yang saya terima dengan syukur, saya jaga dengan rendah hati, dan saya hidupi dengan penuh tanggung jawab.

Imperial War Museum North (IWM North) in Manchester is a museum dedicated to exploring the impact of modern conflict on people’s lives, from the First World War to the present day. Rather than focusing solely on military history, the museum places human experience at the center of its narrative highlighting the voices of soldiers, civilians, women, children, and communities affected by war.

Designed by architect Daniel Libeskind, the building symbolizes a world shattered by conflict and is composed of three conceptual elements: earth, air, and water. Inside, the exhibitions combine artifacts, film, sound, and personal testimonies to reveal how war shapes identity, collective memory, technology, and social life. IWM North serves as a space for education and reflection, encouraging visitors to consider the lasting consequences of war and the importance of humanity in times of conflict.

Visiting the Manchester United Museum is about much more than just admiring trophies. It is home to the poignant memorabilia of the 1958 Munich Air Disaster, a tragedy that nearly extinguished the legendary ‘Busby Babes’ generation.

This museum serves as a powerful reminder that the club’s identity is forged in resilience. From the depths of an unimaginable loss to becoming the first English club to conquer the European Cup in 1968, every exhibit teaches us that history is indeed the ultimate teacher. 🔴⚪⚫
