ANNOUNCEMENT

The Administrative Board of the ARS TEOR/éTica Foundation publicly announces that Lola Malavasi Lachner and Daniela Morales Lisac, who were part of the institution’s Collective Artistic Direction , have decided to step down from their roles as of January and March, respectively.

The Collective Artistic Direction (DAC), started in 2018, has been one of the boldest, most ambitious, innovative, and significant projects of this organization, as it proposed an alternative management model that challenges the traditional dynamics of cultural institutions.

Lola and Daniela’s contributions were vital both in the establishment and the consolidation of the DAC. We deeply appreciate their dedication, commitment, and invaluable contributions to curatorial, educational, editorial, communications and research programs, all of which have been fundamental in fostering connections with new generations of artists and collaborators.

For over thirteen years, Lola has played a crucial role in creating spaces for informal learning, care, and collective resistance among artists, educators, and professionals from various disciplines. Her significant contributions to the institution include exhibitions such as Virginia Pérez-Ratton. Central America: Desiring a Place (MUAC, 2019, Co-curated) and Teramorfosis (2015, Curated), as well as the residency project Alter Academia (2016-2018), which provided artists both a physical and symbolic space for learning together and exploring possibilities beyond traditional ways of constructing and sharing knowledge. Whether through workshops, discussions, or a shared meal, Lola has always sought ways to amplify the voices of individuals as valuable knowledge creators.

Since 2013, Daniela has been a key figure in strengthening our work, contributing her creative and critical vision to the development of various projects, both locally and internationally. Thanks to her efforts, TEOR/éTica has expanded the reach of its programs through dynamic communication strategies that have given visibility and resonance to the voices within the institution’s network. Additionally, her coordination of the publishing program has been central in revitalizing the Foundation’s editorial efforts, which have been ongoing for over twenty years. Daniela was involved in projects such as the Buchaca magazine in both digital and print editions, as well as the publication Gestionar la Duda I and the Local Writings series. She has also been an essential collaborator in ensuring the daily functioning of the team, always fostering dialogue, collectivity, and mutual support.

 

We wish both of them the very best in their new professional and personal endeavors.

Thank you, Lola!
Thank you, Daniela!
