Paloma Rambana
COCA Intern
|
Paloma Rambana, 17, leads the youth perspective in arts, and it’s a fresh and invigorating insight into the future of arts administration and curation.

Humanity’s history is littered with stories whose differing perspectives call into question universal truths. But is that not the beautiful intersection of art and social engagement?
Maclay senior Paloma Rambana, arts activist and curator, roots her work in finding, collecting, and curating stories that might go unnoticed.
