How is the role of the museum changing in today’s global art capitals? How are curators around the world reimagining the relationship between museums and publics? Join us for a conversation with three internationally renowned curators: Thelma Golden (Studio Museum in Harlem), Paulo Herkenhoff (Museu de Arte, Rio de Janeiro), and Vasif Kortun (SALT, Istanbul/Ankara). Art historian Anne Higonnet (Barnard College) will moderate; Simone Douglas (Parsons) and Public Books Editor in Chief Sharon Marcus (Columbia) will introduce the event. RSVP here.
