From December 6-8, 2024, the Andrzej Wróblewski Foundation, as a new major patron, participated in the 56th annual CIMAM conference held in Los Angeles. The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), the Hammer Museum and LACMA were the institutional hosts and co-organisers of the event under the theme ‘Sustainable Futures: How? When? For whom?’. Clara Kim was appointed chair of the international Contents Committee and was responsible, together with her team, for an intensive programme of lectures, panel debates, artist talks and workshops for curators of collections and directors of international exhibition institutions.

Three questions framed the perspectives for consideration and discussion: ‘How do museums deal with the tensions arising from ongoing cycles of crisis and change? What does this mean in the context of art institutions? How do museums put this into practice? And how can we take account of different contexts, cultural and economic?’, directing the attention of museum practitioners to contemporary issues that are alarming and require engagement in everyday institutional work.
