Elaine Heumann Gurian speaks about her latest book Centering the Museum: Writings for the Post-Covid Age

Elaine Heumann Gurian is a well-known consultant and advisor to museums that are beginning, building or reinventing themselves. In this first MuseumExpert.org event of the new year, she will share her doubts on the field’s reaction to the pandemic in the context of her belief that, “knowledge of one’s ethical core is inextricably linked to professional practice and essential to responsible leadership." She will explain why she is proposing "centering the museum" which is a new and very much unexpected shift in her thinking.

Américo Castilla, an artist and museum leader in Argentina, is the founding director Fundación TyPA and organizer of the Museo Reimaginado conferences that have brought new and intriguing thinking and dialogue formats to the museum world.
