Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Berghuis is a curator, researcher and educator with over two decades of experience shaping contemporary art programming across museums, universities and public spaces internationally. He has held inaugural leadership roles—most notably as founding director of Museum MACAN and as the Guggenheim’s first curator of Chinese art—where he built collections, teams and exhibition strategies that foreground experimental practices and transnational dialogues. As Chair of the Arts and Human Rights Foundation and convener of transnational initiatives like the World School Program, he blends curatorial practice with advocacy for free expression, decolonial perspectives and community-engaged scholarship. He also teaches in democratic and Montessori school settings while consulting globally through his practice, demonstrating a rare ability to move between institutional development, hands-on artist collaboration and classroom pedagogy. Outside institutional work he maintains active research ties (University of Melbourne, University of Sydney) and a family life that fuels his creative practice—he even takes art classes to deepen material understanding and inform his curatorial storytelling.
