An international group of scholars, curators, museum directors, and artists discuss new approaches to the study and presentation of Latin American art in the 21st century. This symposium focuses on three key areas: the role of the museum in the collection, contextualization, and representation of Latin American art; the production of revisionist art histories through innovative research methodologies, new interpretative frameworks and archive-based scholarship; and experimental curatorial models ranging from historic to contemporary case studies for the interpretation and presentation of art from Latin America.

There is no registration fee for the symposium. Lunch can be purchased at the Getty Cafe for the symposium sessions held at the Getty Center. A $25 fee per day ($15 for students) for refreshments and lunch will be charged at the time of registration for the symposium sessions held at the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach. For more information, or to register for the symposium, contact symposium@molaa.org or visit www.molaa.org.
