Philosophy

Values • Mission • Vision

Every member of the undocumented, migrant, and immigrant artists and art creatives alike are an essential part of the creative industries of the contemporary art world. CuratorLove is a social impact enterprise for a more equitable environment where we can thrive in community.

As a transnational first-generation Mexican-Japanese immigrant, formerly undocumented, I founded CuratorLove to center the needs of my people and utilize the tools of the contemporary art world to secure resources for my community.

At CuratorLove, we advocate, support, champion, produce, curate, exhibit, and aid in creating projects by undocumented, migrant, and immigrant artists and art creatives.

Erika Hirugami, MA. MAAB. MPhil.
