Discover the evolving practice of Shooshie Sulaiman in a publication accompanying Building a ‘non-institution institution, a process-driven Fellowship at Singapore Art Museum. Anchored by Emotional Library (2007) and the development of Tadika Kura-kura, this project reimagines curatorial work as intuitive, affective, and community-based.

Rooted in Shooshie’s emotive and intuitive artistic language, the publication explores the development of a conceptual “curatorial software” that nurtures emergent knowledge systems, kinships and alternative modes of artmaking. Through contributions by curators, artists, and writers, this publication reflects on Shooshie’s collaborative engagements in Japan, Sulawesi and Malaysia, and how they challenge institutional frameworks while cultivating a more porous, community-grounded contemporary art ecosystem.
