Continuing the Conversation: Strategies for Latinx Museum Engagement

What role does the Spanish language play in cultivating Latinx participation in museum offerings? What other barriers of entry for these communities are at play? How can we more actively engage and participate with Latinx communities across museum programs? Panelists from the popular NYCMER Annual Conference session Con las Puertas Abiertas: Strategies for Latinx Museum Engagement will join NYCMER for an evening of discussion on how to create genuine engagement with New York City’s diverse Latinx communities.

Speakers will include:

• Christina Ramos, Hispanic Federation
• Elena González, Gracie Mansion
• Soley Esteves, American Museum of Natural History
• Valentín Concha-Núñez, El Museo del Barrio
