The Remai Modern has selected its first curator for Indigenous art, filling a new position created more than six months ago.

The gallery announced on Wednesday morning that Tarah Hogue was named the inaugural curator of Indigenous art. The Remai Modern created the role in December 2019 as part of a push to amplify and support Indigenous art communities.

“This new role is an important step toward realizing Remai Modern’s aim to be a leading centre for contemporary Indigenous art and discourse,” Remai Modern co-executive director and CEO Aileen Burns said in a statement.

Hogue, a curator, cultural worker, and writer originally from Red Deer, Alta., was most recently the inaugural senior curatorial fellow of Indigenous art at the Vancouver Art Gallery.
