Tarah Hogue is a curator, writer, and cultural worker based in Treaty 6 and 7 territories and the Métis homeland. Her practice is grounded in relational geographies, attending to how people and artworks shape and are shaped by the territories they belong to and move through. She approaches curating as a form of generative inquiry and connection, where otherwise ways of knowing and being can emerge through encounters between artworks, spaces, and publics.
Hogue is currently Adjunct Curator (Indigenous Art) at Remai Modern and has curated independently since 2009 across a range of venues and collaborations. Her recent projects include Carried by rivers, held by lands (Remai Modern), co-curated with Aileen Burns, Johan Lundh, and Maria Lind—a multi-year initiative that brings together artists from across the northern hemisphere to think with place, build solidarities across distance, and pursue collaborative forms of cultural and environmental restitution. She is also co-curator, with Siri Engberg, of Dyani White Hawk: Love Language (Walker Art Center; Remai Modern), a major survey of fifteen years of the Sičáŋǧu Lakota artist’s practice.
Of Michif and Euro-Canadian ancestry, Hogue is a citizen of the Otipemisiwak Métis Government within Alberta.
