In assuming the presidency of the G20, Argentina has set a list of priorities that are "people-centered." At an AS/COA event in New York, G20 leaders discussed the three main agenda items around sustainable development—the future of work, financing infrastructure, and sustainable food security—and the methods they plan to use to reach consensus at the first G20 summit to be held in South America, taking place in November. They also discussed the summit's work on international trade in relation to recent U.S.-China tensions.

Americas Society is honoring Argentine contemporary artist Marta Minujín for her accomplishments in an artistic career spanning half a century. The Americas Society Cultural Achievement Award recognizes extraordinary creativity and artistic mastery among Latin American cultural figures.

One of the main artworks produced by Minujín was Minucode, a seminal work related to her institutional attachment to the Americas Society, says Visual Arts Director and Chief Curator Gabriela Rangel. "The Americas Society was one of the first institutions that provided resources for her to develop something that was transgressive, avant-garde. An adventure in the future."

In this video, Rangel, MAMBA's Victoria Noorthoorn, and MOMA's Stuart Comer and Inés Katzenstein comment on Minujín's career and the impact of her work and persona beyond the art world.

In an interview with Charlie Rose at Americas Society in New York, President of Argentina Mauricio Macri spoke about populism, attracting investment in his country, the situation in Venezuela, and what's next for the investigation on the case of Alberto Nisman.

The Argentine head of state sat down with the journalist after receiving Americas Society's Gold Insigne Award, the organization's highest honor, which is granted to democratically elected, sitting heads of state. Macri received the award in recognition of his transformative leadership in Argentina and throughout the hemisphere.
