MATE - Museo Mario Testino (pronounced mAH-teh) is a non-profit institution founded in 2012 set up by Peruvian fashion photographer Mario Testino.[1] It was initiated to contribute to Peru through the development and promotion of heritage and culture.[2]
Testino restored a colonial, 13,000 sq. ft. mansion in Barranco, Lima[3] that was originally built in 1898 to create a museum that is home to permanent exhibition of Testino's work alongside a Temporary Exhibition Space for showcasing Peruvian and international contemporary art.[4] The annual series, Maestros de la Fotografia, is an annual series dedicated to photography and is selected by Mario Testino and a curatorial committee. [5]
MATE is notable for being an establishment that contributes to Peru's cultural and artistic scene by providing a dynamic platform to launch projects both locally and internationally.[6][7] The museum hosts educational programmes, talks, guided tours and workshops as well as offering training and resources, such as outdoor exhibitions, to communities in Peru that are too far away to visit the museum. [8]
MATE's mission also includes educational programmes and supporting Peruvian artists abroad. MATE collaborates with the Delfina Foundation to run an artist-in-residence programme that annually invites a Peruvian artist to live and work in London for three months.[9] This programme supported Philippe Gruenberg in 2014[10] and José Vera Matos in 2015.[11]
