🗓️ Sunday, December 8 📍 Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)

Introduction by Joselina Cruz, CIMAM Board Member, Member of the Contents Committee, and Director/Curator, Museum of Contemporary Art and Design (MCAD) Manila.

Keynote: Candice Hopkins, Executive Director and Chief Curator, Forge Projects, Taghkanic.

Session: Sustainable Communities: Indigenous Perspectives and Worldviews.

Indigenous artists, curators, and thinkers have been making highly visible change in museums throughout the world. Indigenous ways of thinking and knowing have permeated institutions and the practices of exhibition making and collecting. What does sustainability, when seen and understood through indigenous perspectives, mean for our institutions? What should be sustained, changed, and re-imagined? How do indigenous perspectives and worldviews integrate the environment and the natural world as cultural material rather than separate from the practice of artmaking?

With presentations by

• Edgar Calel, Artist, San Juan Comalapa, Guatemala.
• Pablo José Ramírez, Curator, Hammer Museum, Los Angeles.
• Taloi Havini, Artist, Brisbane.

Moderated by Rita Gonzalez, Member of the 2024 Contents Committee, and Terri and Michael Smooke Curator and Department Head of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Los Angeles.

Followed by closing remarks by Content Committee members, CIMAM's General Assembly, afternoon visits, and farewell dinner.
