Abstract
In order to demonstrate a theoretical understanding of and hands-on experience with my primary research topics, I will take part in an internship with the Museum of Contemporary Art of Panama (MAC Panama) and complete a final research project consisting of a portfolio and reflective analysis of my work with the museum and on-going cultural virtualization efforts across Latin America. My research will focus on institutional changes in Latin American museology in regard to the rise of new media and interactive museography, as well as the adaptive needs thrust upon cultural centers in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Latin America’s rich artistic history and globally recognized institutions make it an ideal case study, and likely leader, in the progression of the field moving forward. This project will build upon my cultural, educational, and professional background in media studies and institutional marketing, preparing me to re-enter my career track better equipped to engage with these same developments.
