The course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to conceptualise, curate, and design exhibitions and experiences across both cultural and creative industry contexts.<br/><br/>Curation, Exhibition and Experience Design is a growing skills area for not only the arts and creative industries, but also for retail businesses and brands. The role of curation in brand storytelling is to create a cohesive and compelling narrative that aligns with the brands values, identity, and target audience. Curation involves the careful selection, arrangement, and presentation of content, experiences, and visual elements to communicate a brands story effectively. Curation plays a crucial role in conveying a brands identity and personality. By selecting and presenting content that reflects the brands unique attributes, values, and voice, curation helps to differentiate the brand from competitors and build a distinct brand identity.<br/><br/>The growing importance of brand experience is evident across almost every sector of industry. Graduates from this course will develop highly transferable skills applicable to a broad range of situations. There is evidence that suggests a growth in demand for trained curatorial staff, whether that be in the retail fashion industry in Southeast Asia or in the galleries and museums sector in the U.S. The course is designed to provide you with a developed understanding of both the theoretical and practical aspects of curation, exhibition design, and experience creation.
