Join the New-York Historical Society on Friday, April 14, at 1pm (ET) for Latinx Art and American Pasts and Futures.
With museums seeking to implement more inclusive practices and Latinx art emerging as an area of focus, the panelists will consider how three museums are navigating this pivot point in the framing of national culture and the recalibration of understandings of US art and history.
- Marcela Guerrero
DeMartini Family Curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art - Rodrigo Moura
Chief Curator of El Museo del Barrio, New York - E. Carmen Ramos (moderator)

Since its founding in 1982, the Henry Luce Foundation’s American Art Program has supported wide-ranging collection projects and exhibitions at art museums in all 50 states. In commemoration of the program’s 40th anniversary, the Foundation has organized a year-long series of virtual conversations moderated by field leaders and Luce grantees, past and present.
Deliberately forward-facing rather than retrospective, the Henry Luce Foundation Conversations on American Art and Museums explore what the best futures of American art and museums might look like. The participants will explore the role of the visual arts in an open and equitable society, and the capacity of art museums to challenge accepted histories, elevate under-represented voices, and host the critical conversations in which we need to engage.
