To mark MUSAC's 5th Anniversary and on occasion of the exhibition project MODEL KITS. Thinking Latin America from the MUSAC Collection, the museum's comprehensive schedule of activities will focus entirely on Latin America. The exhibitions held at Laboratorio 987, in the Showcases and in the main galleries will give rise to a set of parallel activities including symposiums, forums, artist workshops and music and film events. The schedule intends to establish a platform for reflecting on a continent in a permanent state of flux, a basis for analysis and an exchange of ideas between artists, cultural agents and the general public interested in coming closer to Latin America's contemporary art context in its diverse aspects.
