Elvira Dyangani Ose will resign as the director of the Macba in April due to a conflict of interest with her new role at the Abu Dhabi Public Art Biennale.
Elvira Dyangani Ose, who has been leading the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (Macba) since 2021, has announced her resignation effective early April, coinciding with the end of the exhibition she curated titled 'Proyectar un planeta negro. El arte y la cultura de Panáfrica'. This announcement comes in light of a decision by the Macba Consortium, its governing body, stating that her current position is incompatible with her new appointment as director of the upcoming Abu Dhabi Public Art Biennale. The transition marks a significant moment in the museum's leadership as Dyangani Ose was the first woman and the first person of African descent to hold this pivotal role at Macba.
