The Chopo University Museum in search of a broader audience
Sol Henaro, the new director, will focus on themes such as the country's social, political, and cultural diversity.
The intersection of art and politics, gender, new feminisms, ethical politics, social movements, peace culture, Indigenous self-determination, territorial defense, climate change, archiving, and memory, along with greater attention to children and the elderly, are some of the guiding principles for Sol Henaro, who officially took over as director of the Chopo University Museum this year.

In an interview, the curator explained that her management is based on the premise that the museum "should not only be visited but should also become a place where people stay and actively participate."
"From this perspective, it is relevant to study and reclaim some aspects that distinguish models such as the cultural house, social center, or civic center, characterized by their connection with communities and social work in conjunction with cultural production," Henaro explained. She indicated this approach will be gradually implemented in the museum's programming.
The director added that she aims to build bridges with other communities that "have been somewhat neglected, such as children and the elderly."

Regarding exhibitions, Henaro mentioned that on August 15, the museum will open "Gran Fury: Art Is Not Enough," curated by André Mesquita. This exhibition, from the Museum of Art of São Paulo, reflects on HIV and its current relevance.

Additionally, upcoming exhibitions include "Journey into the Night: An Expanded Film in Space" by Ximena Cuevas and Ricardo Nicolayevsky and "Giuseppe Campuzano: Line of Life," curated by Miguel A. López, who will assume the role of chief curator of the museum at the end of this year. The museum will also continue its work on memory through the Fanzinoteca and the Disobedient Archive. Finally, in celebration of the museum's 50th anniversary in 2025, a seminar will be launched to review the historical moments of El Chopo.
The Chopo University Museum is located at Dr. Enrique González Martínez 10-P. B, Santa María la Ribera, Cuauhtémoc, 06400 Mexico City, is open from Wednesday to Sunday from 11:30 AM to 6:00 PM.
