Hirshhorn Museum hires its first curator of Latin American and Latin diasporic art

According to Brodsky, Roca possesses a deep knowledge of Latin American art and extensive international experience, making him an ideal fit for the Hirshhorn's new role.

Roca emphasizes that defining "Latin American art" is complex due to the cultural diversity and global practices of artists, many of whom operate outside traditional localities.

As the Hirshhorn marks its 50th anniversary, there is a prime opportunity to reflect on its international collection and outline future directions under Roca's leadership.

Brodsky noted that the task of defining Latin American art is increasingly challenging due to migration, which impacts artists' local affiliations and practices.
