a curator of culture

curate creative culture

Tonight I am speaking at a creative event and I am speaking on what it means to be a curator of culture.

I believe we all have the capacity to change culture.

You can change the culture of your home, you can change the culture of your heart.

You can change culture.

The people that make a difference in their lifetime though, are the ones that impact whole cultures of people.

Art impacts culture, writing impacts culture, music impacts culture, food impacts culture.

To curate is to specifically work towards; to select, organise or look after a collection or exhibition.

What if you curated culture?

What if you began by curating a creative culture in your own life and then you were so okay with your unique, that you impacted culture at large.

Here is a downloadable printable of 30 ways to curate creative change in your everyday

30 ways to curate creative culture printable

Enjoy and pass it on.

Create often

One of my greatest supporters and good friends Steve Fraser has been working in conjuction with Australian Geographic for their 2014 calender.

Steve supported me so much in the initial days of capture and his wife Elaine of Beautiful Books has been a writing and inspiration buddy for nearly 10 years.

Australian Geographic puts out a calender every year, with a few photographers featured as a part of the calender’s photography.

I’m pleased to announce that next years release features Steve’s work only. His work is prolific and beautiful.

If this is your thing go buy one today.

Love it.

Johann Kim

johann

Johann Kim, started his creative business explosion as a jewelry designer, firstly opening a concept store in Perth, 2007. The one-stop fashion and gift store went from being a one man operation to a family of over 50 staff, that he fondly calls his pigeons. He now owns and manages 7 stores across Australia; Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and in Korea, as well as his online offering www.pigeonhole.com

Pigeonhole is filled with goods that any respectable bird would see fit to collect; polaroids, terrariums, analogue cameras, bounded books, vintage threads, brooches, wallets and plenty more fun trinkets to unearth. Inspiration lurks in every Pigeonhole shop. He recently opened a menswear outlet called Fox and Hunt, and every one has a unique flavor with different offerings housed in a small space befitting its name. Pigeonhole is a treasure trove of cool, creative and well-designed objects that are sure to bring joy to the soul.

Their philosophy is to be an open and creative community of people who love what they do, who push the boundaries creatively to always present something new and interesting to Australian shores.

Johann is being interviewed at our first SPARC GATHERING in Perth. Buy a ticket and bring a creative mate along. You won’t be dissapointed.
