Raphael Fonseca, a prominent curator specializing in Latin American art, has been appointed as the new visual arts programmer at Culturgest in Lisbon. He will relocate to Portugal in June, succeeding Bruno Marchand, while maintaining a curator-at-large position with the Denver Art Museum, where he has served since 2021.
This appointment signals a significant career move for a highly active international curator. Fonseca's hiring underscores Culturgest's commitment to a global contemporary art program and highlights the increasing mobility and influence of curators who bridge institutions across the Americas and Europe, managing multiple high-profile projects simultaneously.
