The Curatorial Roundtable, an international forum for curators and institutional leaders to discuss formative and current projects, is hosted by Steven Henry Madoff, Founding Chair of the MA Curatorial Practice at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

Ruth Estevez is a curator, writer, and set designer. She lives between NYC and Mexico City. Her curatorial approach is influenced by her interest in the historical relationship between poetry, literature, theater, and the visual arts. She likes to challenge the possibilities of the exhibition format pushing the boundaries of timing and materiality as well as the methodologies of production and presentation. She was recently artistic Director of Amant in Brooklyn (2020-2023), Senior Curator at The Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University (2018-2020), and Co-Curator of the 34th São Paulo Biennial (2021). She also organized for several years the performance festival “Idiorrhythmic” at MACBA in Barcelona (2017-2020), and she was the Gallery Director and Curator at REDCAT/Calarts (2012-2018). She co-founded LIGA-Space for Architecture and Spatial Practices in Mexico City (2010-). She holds an MA in Art History (Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, UNAM) and she is currently finishing her Ph.D. in Art, Education, and Research at the UCLM, Cuenca, focused on the aesthetic, social, and political shifts of collective creation in performance art and theater.
