The curator of this project is Mrs Rosyida Mohd Rozlan, who worked on planning the entire journey organization and in giving instruction for other artists on the project. She is also had role on doing documentation and doing on research before the journey. She also monitored the artists during the production of artworks and collection of them to be exhibited in gallery. An art curator's role is multitasking as he or she is responsible for gallery's collection, selecting art to be displayed, organizing art exhibitions in galleries, researching artists, and writing catalog (Kendzulak, S, 2017)

Artworks are produced based on journey, expedition and on different elements like visual, smell, sound, colour, texture and so on.
