We are pleased to welcome Francesca Du Brock to CIMAM!
"My hope is to build meaningful relationships based on learning and exchange with culture workers who may be grappling with similar issues and concerns, such as: how to curate and produce exhibitions more sustainably and humanely, in reciprocity with place and community; how to make the work we do relevant to societies and communities in crisis; and how to dismantle hierarchies that hinder our ability to co-learn and co-create".
Francesca Du Brock, Chief Curator, Anchorage Museum, Alaska, USA.
"Practicing in a geographically remote location, I am eager to learn from and share with others. Connecting to the CIMAM network would provide invaluable opportunities to seed relationships and nurture the formation of new ideas. I’m very excited by recent offerings I’ve seen on CIMAM platform geared towards climate justice, Indigenizing, and idea-sharing".
