The project.

When Urban Nation Museum opened in September 2017, Rom joined its international curatorial team. His selection included Invader, RETNA, Hyuro, Stinkfish, Ludo and Fintan Magee.

He also coordinated the installation of Invader’s large mosaic before the museum’s opening. The project brought street-based practice into a dedicated institution for urban contemporary art.
