APG is honored to be co-sponsoring this curatorial talk by Pilar Tompkins Rivas, chief curator and deputy director of Curatorial and Collections at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles, where she will introduce her exhibition, You Belong Here: Place, People, and Purpose in Latinx Photography, on view at the Michael C. Carlos Museum through December 3, 2023. You Belong Here celebrates the dynamic contemporary photography of Latinx artists across the United States, bringing together established and emerging artists, who tackle themes of political resistance, family and community, fashion and culture, and the complexity of identity in American life. You Belong Here originates from Tompkins Rivas’s work as guest editor of “Latinx,” the Winter 2021 issue of Aperture magazine.
Michael C. Carlos Museum
Set in the heart of Emory’s Atlanta campus, the Michael C. Carlos Museum is a dynamic, interdisciplinary center for the study of art and culture, with collections from Africa; ancient Egypt, Nubia, and the Near East; ancient Greece and Rome; the Indigenous Americas; and South Asia; as well as American and European Works on Paper.
Through their permanent collections, engaging special exhibitions, and innovative programs for audiences of all ages, the Carlos Museum connects the past with the present and the campus with the community. The museum is committed to emphasizing diverse voices, perspectives, and disciplines.
Curators and faculty develop original exhibitions, engage in interdisciplinary research and teaching, and host touring exhibitions that complement their collections and support the teaching mission of the university. The museum’s conservators collaborate with staff, faculty, and students to conduct research and manage preventive care on the museum’s varied collections. Museum educators reach across the museum, campus, and city to develop opportunities to engage the intellect and the imagination of university students and faculty, preK-12 students and teachers, and the larger Atlanta community.
