Terremoto Appoints Curator Helena Lugo as Executive Director
Asociación Terremoto, the not-for-profit civil association, based in Mexico City, which has been publishing Terremoto’s magazine for nine years, is happy to announce the arrival of Helena Lugo as Executive Director.
At Terremoto, Lugo will take over Founding Director Dorothée Dupuis’ executive responsibilities and will lead new not-for-profit projects such as an upcoming program of artistic and curatorial residencies organized in Mexico City and abroad. Dupuis will become President of the Executive Board of Asociación Terremoto and focus on expanding sister company and publishing house Temblores Publicaciones’ activities.
“As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we can no longer operate as the fully grassroots initiative we used to be and must turn towards new forms of collegial leadership. Helena comes at a crucial moment as we inaugurate the organization’s overarching Executive Board and Artistic Council. These will be made up of team members and art professionals who will work jointly with the operational team to carry out Asociación Terremoto’s goals and vision in the most impactful way possible,” said Dupuis in a statement.
“I’m really looking forward to my new role at Terremoto as it transitions into a different model. This position represents a challenge and a great possibility of contributing to a leading organization in the Americas. I’m excited to work with the team and develop a new chapter for Terremoto, remaining close to the vast and continuously growing network of supportive partners, collaborators, and artists,” announced Helena Lugo.
Helena Lugo (México, 1989) is an art historian, researcher, and curator based in Mexico City. She received her MFA in Curating from Goldsmiths College and has been a Research Coordinator at MMAC Juan Soriano, Cuernavaca (Mexico), and Associate Curator at Chalton Gallery (London). Lugo is co-founder of the collective Palmera Ardiendo and collaborated with Mexico City’s Salón ACME.
