Curator's Perspective: Lucía Sanromán

The Curator’s Perspective is a free, itinerant public discussion series Independent Curators International (ICI) developed as a way for international curators to share their research and experiences with audiences in New York. These talks provide ICI the opportunity to assemble documentation on and disseminate information about a wide variety of international perspectives on art today.

Americas Society will host the event. This event is free and prior registration is requested. If you wish to register, please contact ICI directly at  rsvp@curatorsintl.org with LUCIA in the subject line.
