Director of Learning & Engagement
A Senior Staff position, ICA LA’s Director of Learning & Engagement (DLE) leads all education and public programs activities at the museum. An essential role in providing a range of opportunities for public engagement with ICA LA’s exhibitions, Artist-in-Residence program, and civic, educational, and community building topics; creating a welcoming environment; advancing community outreach; and furthering meaningful partnerships, the DLE oversees the conceptualization, production, and documentation of all public programs and special projects.
Recognized for its bold curatorial vision that illuminates untold stories and emerging voices in contemporary art, ICA LA’s curatorial program showcases artists, both local and international and of different generations, who expand the social, political, and formal dimensions of contemporary art. ICA LA’s Learning & Engagement (L&E) program is equally distinguished, and the museum seeks to remove hierarchy between the Curatorial and L&E Departments, the staff of which partner closely in the development of programs.

For her presentation at ICA LA, Sanchez will debut an installation titled Así Sea / So Be It. At the project’s core is a series of over 200 wax rubbings the artist produced of her grandparents’ home in East Los Angeles. The structure’s exterior was hand-stuccoed in 1974 by Sanchez’s grandfather, who moved to the U.S. from Tijuana, Baja California, where he learned his trade. After living in the home for over 50 years, the family made the difficult decision to sell; an outcome of her grandparents’ passing and the economic impacts of a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood. Made in multigenerational collaboration with her mother and aunts, the rubbings document the home’s plaster exterior—fitted with ornamental wrought iron—as well as its interior details and plant matter from the surrounding garden.
While Sanchez’s work points to a human impulse to preserve, her approach embraces this impossibility, rendering visible the realities of loss while honoring the intangible feelings, experiences, and encounters that bring a house to life. As both a material record and an embodied ritual of grief and remembrance, Así Sea / So Be It reimagines archival practice as a tool for care, connection, and reclamation.
