Marielsa Castro, curator

The Art of Social Change

In our 28th episode, curator Marielsa Castro made us wonder, What does it take to construct the bonds that bind communities together? How can we create genuine relationships with our neighbors?
During our conversation, we discussed how her interest in collectivity and commoning has led her to be a part of the cooperative Coopia and how this has influenced her current role in the Jumex Museum in Mexico City. She walked us through the museum’s recent project Museos en Común, where the entire team sought to build a long-lasting bond with with the people of their neighboring food market Mercado Granada.
