Te Tuhi Contemporary Art Trust are pleased to announce the appointment of
Gabriela Salgado as Artistic Director.
Gabriela is an Argentine-born curator currently based in London and holds an MA in Curating Contemporary Art from the
Royal College of Art. She has curated numerous exhibitions including 2nd Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art
(2009) and La Otra Bienal de Arte, Bogotá (2013). Gabriela has been curator of the Collection of Latin American Art at
Essex University (1999-2005) and curator of Public Programmes at Tate Modern (2006-2011). She has lectured in over
twenty countries, published widely and acted as a jury member for organisations including Prince Claus Fund and
Videobrasil Festival.
Gabriela works internationally as curator and consultant with a focus on the culturally diverse global south, which
includes Latin America, Africa, and South East Asia, and this has led to the creation of a programme of exchanges
between African and Latin American artists. She brings to Te Tuhi extensive resources through her experience and
contacts within the world of contemporary art.
Te Tuhi is renowned for supporting curatorial research resulting in exhibitions that are locally engaged, regionally
responsive and internationally ambitious with a strong awareness of social, political and environmental issues, and
Gabriela is an excellent match with these values.
Gabriela Salgado will be joining Te Tuhi in November 2017.
