We are pleased to welcome Sylvie Fortin to CIMAM
"In recent years, CIMAM has played a unique leadership role in advocating for the role of public museums of modern and contemporary art. I’m most impressed by the positions it has taken and the ethical guidance it has provided museums and museum professionals in the face of populist-neoliberal pressures. I believe in the strength of the collective and want to contribute in whatever way I can."
