Maritza Lacayo, Associate Curator at the Pérez Art Museum Miami, is a woman who shows up unapologetically in every aspect of her life.

In this episode, Salomé Gómez-Upegui sits down with Maritza to explore her journey in the art world, from starting part-time at PAMM’s front desk to becoming a curator who approaches her work as a storyteller in service of the museum and its community. They discuss Maritza’s latest exhibition, Elliot & Erick Jiménez: El Monte, a captivating show inspired by the Lucumí spiritual tradition, and along the way, Maritza shares her thoughts on what it means to be unapologetic, why she doesn’t believe in imposter syndrome, and how she hopes to inspire the next generation of women in the art world.
