Pablo José Ramírez. New Curator of the Hammer Museum

Pablo José Ramírez has been appointed as Associate Curator at the Hammer Museum. Last year the same institution announced Ramirez as co-curator of "Made in L.A. 2023: Acts of Living" with independent curator Diana Nawi. In a press release, Ramirez noted that one of his main goals in this new position will be to "contribute to the advancement of a program fostered by anti-colonial and diasporic histories."
Pablo José Ramírez (Guatemala, 1982) earned a master's in Contemporary Art Theory from Goldsmiths, University of London. He also has extensive curatorial experience, with a special emphasis on decolonial narratives. Some exhibitions curated by Ramírez are: "Beyond, The Sea Sings: Diasporic Intimacies and Labour," Times Art, Berlin (2021), and "The Measure of Silence: Lawrence Abu Hamdan," NuMu, Guatemala (2020). In addition, the Hammer Museum's new curator is interested in indigenous and non-Western practices; with this vision in mind, he played a central role in shaping the Tate Museum's indigenous art acquisitions strategy.
The Hammer Museum created this new position with Ford Foundation grant funding.
