Lucia Sanroman, the new chief curator of Mexico City's Muac, has a vision for a more socially engaged museum

The Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo (MUAC) has quickly established itself as a premier contemporary art institution in Mexico since its inception. After 11 impactful years under Cuauhtémoc Medina's leadership, the museum will transition to Lucía Sanromán, a curator with a unique background that includes experience in border culture and collaboration with notable institutions. Sanromán's approach reflects a commitment to inclusivity and creativity at a time when artistic institutions must embrace change and broaden their perspectives. This transition marks a pivotal moment for MUAC as it continues to evolve in the contemporary art landscape.

Sanromán has had a unique career path among curators in Mexico, not building her reputation in the capital, but working in Tijuana, affecting the border culture.

Cuauhtémoc Medina, Mexico's star curator, defined Muac's curatorial line for 11 years before stepping down, handing over the reins to Lucía Sanromán.
