To round out this year’s Curators in Conversation series, María Elena Ortiz, curator at the Pérez Art Museum Miami will be in conversation with O’Neil Lawrence, chief curator of The National Gallery of Jamaica and co-curator of the Jamaica Biennial 2017. Ortiz and Lawrence will discuss intersecting ideas in their respective curatorial practices, their commitment to elevating the curatorial research and scholarship on Caribbean artists, and their efforts to promote artistic exchange between Black communities in the US and the Caribbean. As curators with leadership roles at institutions in service to Caribbean Art, Ortiz and Lawrence will also share their thoughts on the role of the curator and the future of museums in navigating this fragile yet generative moment. As always, the conversation will be moderated by Grace Aneiza Ali, CCCADI’s Curator-at-Large and Assistant Professor, Art & Public Policy, NYU.
