Art museums and immigration
Having immigrated to Canada from Brazil in 2006, Tanha Gomes knows first-hand how contemporary art can help bridge the gaps between cultures and people. She was so inspired by her own experiences that the master’s student in art education decided to make this line of inquiry the focus of her research.
“I’m looking at the social role of art museums and how they can help create a sense of community, especially with recent immigrants,” Gomes says.
For her six-month internship, Gomes will be creating programs for the MAI (Montréal, arts interculturels) that engage different publics to make lasting connections at the museum.
