Latinx Curators: Shifting Museums, Collections, and Scholarship

Please join us for a special evening focused on the perspectives and experiences of Latinx curators, convened by former MoMA Scholar in Residence C. Ondine Chavoya. This public program will gather a trio of esteemed curatorial voices—Marcela Guerrero, Maria Elena Ortiz, and Pilar Tompkins-Rivas—whose careers have consistently highlighted Latinx and Chicanx art. Inspired in part by the ongoing conversations and public forums in which they have collectively engaged in the past, this gathering proposes a dialogue between Latinx curators who have made an outstanding impact in the field and played a central role in shaping the museum and curatorial scene of today. Together, they will reflect on their experiences with exhibition making, collection building, and scholarship across different institutions; share strategies and methods for broadening representation within museums and art history; and collectively consider field shifts, challenges, and what remains to be achieved.
