ReVista is launching its new issue on museums, featuring an in-person panel followed by online commentary by museum directors and curators from Latin America. Museums in Latin America, the Caribbean and Latinx communities in the United States face many challenges. So do museums in the United States with Latin American (or Latinx) collections. Community participation and diversity play increasingly important roles. Hear what museum directors, curators and observers—including those from smaller museums throughout the Americas—have to say about their experiences.
