Congratulations to Dr. Kantara Souffrant on being recognized by the American Alliance of Museums as part of the 2026 AAM Awards. đ
As the Milwaukee Art Museumâs inaugural Senior Director of Community Dialogue and Adult Programs, Kantara has helped shape meaningful experiences that bring people togetherâfrom community conversations and Free Days to joyful gatherings across the Museum campus.
A Haitian-American artist-scholar, educator, and author, Kantaraâs work continues to challenge museums to become more welcoming, connected, and community-centered spaces. We are proud to celebrate this well-deserved recognition and grateful for the impact she makes at the Museum and beyond.
Please join us in congratulating Kantara! đ @aamersofficial
