About the speakers
As curator of pre-Columbian art at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Erell Hubert, has been guiding the direction of this collection since 2016. She also works to enrich and enhance the collections from the Mediterranean basin, Africa and Oceania. At the Museum, she was co-curator of Connections: Our Artistic Diversity Dialogues with Our Collections (2019) and Peru: Kingdoms of the sun and the Moon (2013). She holds a doctorate in Andean archaeology from the University of Cambridge (2015), and is still actively pursuing field research on the north coast of Peru. Her research, published in several scientific journals, draws on this dual experience and explores the relationship between people and the material world through notions of materiality, of object biography, including ethics of provenance and the history of collections, and of the active participation of artworks in identity negotiation.
Julia Burtenshaw is Associate Curator in the Program for the Art of the Ancient Americas at the LACMA. She holds a doctorate from the University of East Anglia, United Kingdom, with an expertise in Pre-Columbian ceramics of South America.
Diana Magaloni is Deputy Director of the LACMA, where she is also Program Director and Dr. Virginia Fields Curator of the Art of the Ancient Americas, and the Director of Conservation. Her recent publications include Picasso & Rivera: Conversations Across Time (2016).
