Diplomado de Curaduría Contemporánea
In 2019, I conceived and produced the Contemporary Curatorship Diploma Program, a 10-month inter-institutional program designed to deepen the understanding and practice of contemporary curatorship within the visual arts. Collaboratively hosted by La Fototeca and Proyectos EXTRA, with the support of FUNBA, this program invited artists, creators, students, humanities researchers, cultural managers, and agents to participate.
Focusing beyond the logistical aspects of management, the program emphasized the curation of artistic projects grounded in rigorous research and the theorization of cultural discourses. The "Contemporary Curatorship" diploma aimed to train curator-researchers and curator-activators, equipping them with specialized knowledge in the visual arts. Participants gained practical tools and insights related to sustainability, management, and the economic aspects of launching cultural initiatives while also working towards positioning Guatemala City as a vital hub for contemporary art production and intellectual exchange in the region.
Structured across 12 comprehensive modules and divided into three trimesters, the program featured diverse teaching methodologies delivered by prominent curators, artists, and educators, including Martín Fernández-Ordóñez, Rosina Cazali, Pablo Ramírez, Camila Fernández, Josseline Pinto, Gabriel Rodriguez, Yavheni de León, and JJ Estrada. Each module aimed to cultivate critical thinking and develop investigative and discursive skills through lectures, workshops, and interactive activities. The program concluded with a collaborative exhibition symposium, providing participants a platform to apply their knowledge, engage with peers, and create meaningful connections within the art community.
