Marian Pastor Roces is a critic and independent curator living in the Philippines. Published internationally, her writing is focused by her interest in clothes, cities, museums, the construction of minorities, and contemporary art that exercises skepticism about art and culture. She is currently working on the relation of nineteenth-century universal expositions to twentiethcentury international art events. Pastor Races is also principal partner of TAO Management Corporation, which provides curatorial, cultural planning, design, and architectural services for museum, exhibition, and urban design projects. TAO approaches its projects as engagements in the politics of memory, and in reshaping notions of community.
