Marcela Guerrero has broken barriers in the art world by becoming the first Latina principal curator of the Whitney Museum of Contemporary Art and co-directing its biennial. Her achievements are significant, especially since Latinos make up only 3% of museum leadership roles. Guerrero discusses her journey to success, which began with a book that piqued her interest in art. Despite not having a typical background in art, she found her path through her experiences in museums, reflecting on the representation of Latinx artists in contemporary art.
"From my office at the Whitney, Guerrero discusses current Latinx art and shares her journey to success, illustrating the challenges and triumphs of her career as a curator."
"Guerrero's leadership at the Whitney is significant, especially given that Latinos hold only 3% of the museum leadership roles in the country, highlighting a critical demographic gap."
