Welcome to CIMAM to Sarah Johanna Theurer!
"As a transnational organization, CIMAM plays a crucial role in shaping and defining the role of museums and non-profit art institutions within contemporary culture. I am eager to contribute to a vibrant and inclusive museum environment. In light of a radicalized and deeply biased public discourse, the importance of organizing and building strong transcultural networks has become even more urgent. I believe there is a critical need for public institutions and their caretakers to rethink their infrastructures and reorient toward more distributed programming".
Sarah Johanna Theurer, Curator, Haus der Kunst München, Munich, Germany.
"Working in a public institution, I feel a strong responsibility to promote the museum as a public space—one that is accessible, inclusive, and welcoming to all communities. This vision shapes not only the architecture of exhibitions but also the planning and structure of live events. My curatorial expertise spans performance, moving image, and contemporary art. Through cross-generational programming, I aim to translate and transmit historic perspectives into contemporary culture".
