The Association of Art Museum Curators (AAMC) & AAMC Foundation will hold their next hybrid in-person and virtual conference in New York City and online from 6 - 9 May 2023, on the theme of “Empowerment”.
Panels will address questions such as: How can we find ways to shift the power away from a singular, curatorial voice to develop methods where curators take the role of facilitators in a process of learning and discovery, equally engage with colleagues in the creation process, and share their leadership? How can we learn from grassroots initiatives that seek to reinvent structures in our arts organizations? How can art institutions empower their communities, for example by serving as mass vaccination sites, voter registration centers, and places of relief for activists for change? How can curators lift up and give power to the unseen and unheard to highlight and address the deep fissures that arise from the erasure of people and cultures in our academies and arts organizations?
Call for papers: Passed
Price: 360 USD (Early bird in-person registration); 175 USD (Virtual registration)
