Panama Pavilion

Ana Elizabeth González is Executive Director and Chief Curator of the Panama Canal Museum (Museo del Canal), where since 2020 she has led a far-reaching institutional renewal focused on diversifying historical narratives, expanding cultural access, and positioning the museum as a civic and curatorial platform for critical reflection. Under her leadership, the museum has deepened its engagement with contemporary art and developed initiatives such as FARO, its annual artist residency program, conceived as a space for research, experimentation, and dialogue among artists, collections, archives, and history.

In 2024, she was co-curator, alongside Mónica Kupfer, of the first Panama Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, and in 2026 she returns as co-curator of the country’s second national pavilion.
