During the Conference, we’ll visit over 20 sites, including galleries, studios, museums, and community organizations, highlighting the cultural landscape in Montréal. Conference content will center around collaboration, cooperation, engagement and interpretation, building upon and continuing our ongoing focus of inclusion and access. Sessions will delve into the scholarly commitment to the investigation of race in art and visual culture within museums; ethical responsibility in collaborations with artists from outside the financial center-points of the art world; shift in art institutions and curatorial practice away from colonial legacies; collection sharing initiatives amongst organizations; Latinx identity and representation in our art organizations looked at through official and unofficial mentorship opportunities; and status of experience and relationships with digital. Keynote Dialogues, between leading voices in the field, will focus on cultural preservation, research, and artistic creation in developing inclusive and equitable exhibitions, collections, audiences, and networks.
