Philosophy

Values • Mission • Vision

Each and every member of the undocumented, migrant, and immigrant artists and art creatives alike is an essential part of the creative industries of the contemporary art world. CuratorLove is a social impact enterprise that stands 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 the creation of projects by undocumented, migrant, and immigrant artists and art creatives.

Erika Hirugami, MA. MAAB
