TATIANA CUEVAS GUEVARA IS THE NEW DIRECTOR OF MUAC
The team of the General Directorate of Visual Arts and the Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo of the UNAM appointed Tatiana Cuevas Guevara, curator and art historian, as the next director of the MUAC.
Cuevas Guevara is currently director of the Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil (MACG) in Mexico City, part of the network of museums of the National Institute of Fine Arts and Literature, and will assume her new responsibility starting in May.
