Museo Moderno: A Values-driven Model that Positions Art as Central to Human Development: U-M Museum Studies Program
How does art lead the way in creating our possible futures? How do the human imagination and the agency and actions of art free the potential for wonder, for hope, optimism and joy, to confront times of agony, trauma and fear? In what ways do artists of all disciplines from around the world dare still to dream of different, alternative futures for humanity, to envision previously unimagined paths forward? How does art furnish humanity with the means to mourn, mitigate, overcome and bring solace and healing to the world’s deep antagonisms and conflicts?
In this lecture, Museo Moderno´s Director Victoria Noorthoorn will describe the values-driven transformation of this vibrant museum of modern and contemporary art in Buenos Aires throughout her leadership over the past 12 years. Noorthoorn has persistently worked towards creating a new model for a public museum in Argentina – and in doing so, she has created a new museum model – that positions art and artists as drivers of educational, social, economic and civic development.
