Description

Since the late nineteenth century, art museums have played an important social, political, and economic roles during Latin The united states on account of the ways in which they structure representation. By way of their architecture, collections, exhibitions, and curatorial practices, Latin American art museums have crafted representations of communities, including nation states, and promoted particular group ideologies. This selection of essays, arranged in thematic sections, will read about the varying and complex functions of art museums in Latin The united states: as nation-building institutions and instruments of state cultural politics; as foci for the promotion of Latin American modernities and modernisms; as sites of mediation between local and international, private and public interests; as organizations that negotiate cultural construction throughout the Latin American diaspora and shape constructs of Latin The united states and its nations; and as venues for the contestation of elitist and Eurocentric notions of culture and the belief of cultural diversity rooted in multiethnic environments.
