Gibran Villalobos talks about the ways that the MCA reaches visitors.

The role of the MCA is to creatively think about how the city is thinking about artistic expression in a contemporary way. So, thinking about popular culture, popular music, things that are happening now—that's what the MCA really tackles here. It's thinking about how these modes of expression or festivities, whatever you want, can actually be part of your everyday life. But it's also part of the intellectual and academic discourse that's happening in the arts.
