Lido Pimienta will contribute a special musical performance for CONDUCTOR’s VIP Opening Night. Presented here in a rare a cappella performance, Pimienta strips her work to its most essential element: the voice.

With Kite (Oglála Lakȟóta), Cannupa Hanska Luger, and Rachel Martin, moderated by Candice Hopkins, this panel brings together Indigenous curators, artists, and collectors to discuss best practices for stewarding Indigenous art as collectors and collecting institutions. Centering Indigenous-led methodologies, the conversation will touch on research, relationship building, contracts, loaning and displaying Indigenous art.

‍

Grounded in shared cultural histories and local networks, La Vaughn Belle, Danny Báez, Christopher Cozier, and Daniela Fifi come together with moderator Tiana Webb-Evans to explore how community-led initiatives create space for new voices, material practices, and forms of artistic freedom in the Caribbean.

The Gochman Family Collection (GFC) mission is to expand and deepen the global understanding of contemporary Native art. The Collection supports and promotes artists whose practices critically engage with colonial worldviews and challenge dominant historical narratives.

CONDUCTOR VIPs are invited to a walkthrough of Naufus Ramírez-Figueroa: Lugar de Consuelo (Place of Solace), led by Inés Katzenstein, Curator of Latin American Art and Director of the Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Research Institute for the Study of Art from Latin America.
