The Magic of Ritual
This program is FULL TO CAPACITY.
Dannielle Tegeder, an artist, witch, and co- founder of Hilma’s Ghost – a feminist art and esoterica project, creates a performative and participatory experience inspired by Liz Collins: Motherlode, our current exhibition that uses the power of textiles as a form of deep emotional expression and resistance. Tegeder will incorporate ancient knotting practices in this performance, which will also draw on audience participation. Referencing the collective’s commitment to experimental pedagogy, transcultural dialogue, and feminist spirituality, her work transforms communal making into both ritual and resistance.
Free. Space is limited. Registration is FULL for this in-person program.
Dannielle Tegeder (b. Peekskill, NY) is a New York–based artist whose practice is grounded in painting but extends to drawing, sculpture, installation, animation, music, artist books, conceptual strategies, and writing. Her work engages the histories of modern painting and architecture while experimenting with new forms that link abstraction to social, urban, and spiritual systems. Since 2020, she has been one half of the collective Hilma’s Ghost, which explores feminism, alternative pedagogies, and spirituality through collaborative projects and exhibitions.
Tegeder’s work has been presented in over 100 exhibitions internationally, including shows in Paris, Berlin, Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago, and New York. Institutional presentations include MoMA PS1, The New Museum, The Brooklyn Museum, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.
