In 2022, an exciting project began at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts in collaboration with community partner Artes de México en Utah. The UMFA invited community members to visit the Ancient Mesoamerican gallery and share their thoughts on the space. Almost 50 people came to the first Transformación cultural: Nuestro pasado es presente meeting, from which a dedicated group formed to collaborate with the Museum over the next three years. This group of amazing people set to work re-envisioning the Ancient Mesoamerican gallery as a new space that reflects the richness of living cultures, identity, and the art of Mexico, Central and South America.
