“THE WAY WE SEE, THE WAY WE ARE”

KLEX programme in Ghent, Belgium
Curator: KOK Siew-Wai

“Each of us is an independent individual, and yet we live in a community sharing a certain collective language, lifestyle and experience that is called “culture”. What does a collective culture tell us about the individuals inhabiting it? Is such label mere conformity? Do we understand each other perfectly just because we come from the same background, speaking the same language? How often do we feel terribly lonely in the community, being with the people that we are the most familiar with? A general certain “culture” is the cover of the book. In order to truly explore, one needs to patiently read through every single page with an open mind and an open heart…”
