Lk Rigor’s practice orbits the spheres of photography and archives, through writing, researching, and curating. This year, she curated an exhibition titled “Critic/ism in flux” at the Kalaw-Ledesma Foundation, where she also works as a Research/Project Coordinator. She is one of the curators at 98B COLLABoratory, an independent artist-run space in Manila.

The 2024 Asian Artists Exchange Program: Multilateral Bridging Workshop, themed "Building Taiwan’s Cultural Connections through Global Art Exchange," focused on the role of civilian organizations as platforms for promoting sustainable transnational exchanges. Discussions examined how these platforms can effectively foster global collaboration and assessed the tangible impact of international cultural exchanges in terms of influence and sustainability.
