The 2024 CIMAM (International Committee for Museums and Collections of Modern Art) Annual Conference addresses the relationship of museums to the climate crisis, to financial and funding issues, and to racial and social justice, in the attempt to create new possibilities and intellectual and sociological frameworks guiding the way museums should function. The conference focuses on museum and cultural practitioners who are transforming the field and radically questioning the intersection of practice, social change, and art history, as well as re-imagining what museums can be as agents of transformation and evolution. The conference aims to position LA as a Pan-American city, and a Transpacific city, shaped by histories of migration and communities from Latin America and across the Pacific that have contributed to the rich and heterogeneous makeup of LA, along with its dynamism as an art capital of the twenty-first century.
