Museums are vessels of memory, knowledge, inspiration and dreams.

(This virtual conversation, hosted by TED arts and design curator Chee Pearlman, was recorded June 17, 2020.)

    I wish everyone understands the importance of arts in our life, everyone should know that there is more than engineering and doctor.

    Hahaha hahaha hahaha. What!
    No, no one cares about your art. No one is changing society with their art.
