Between meetings, inspiring discussions, and first immersions in the field, a look back at these integration days rich in discoveries.
A program for tomorrow’s players
In a constantly evolving sector, the MAGMa program trains experts able to navigate between art collecting, heritage conservation, and cultural management. It offers a holistic approach combining academic knowledge and hands-on practice, to prepare students for the challenges of the international market.
Immersive integration days
Upon arrival, the students were welcomed by IESA’s management team: Marie-Sandrine Cadudal (director), Anissa Abdellatif (deputy director), and Carolina Ariza (head of the international department). After a presentation of the program by Adriana Turpin and the faculty, the day continued with a round table devoted to institutions and their role in preserving French cultural heritage. A valuable time for discussion to better understand the challenges of the sector.
The evening ended on a friendly note around a cocktail in the IESA hall, a great opportunity for students and teachers to forge their first connections.
The next day, it was time for exploration with a guided tour of the Olga de Amaral exhibition at the Fondation Cartier. An immersion in the heart of contemporary art and heritage, in perfect resonance with the themes addressed in the program.
