Hilma’s Ghost, a feminist artist collective, was co-founded by Brooklyn-based artists Dannielle Tegeder and Sharmistha Ray in 2020. The collective seeks to address existing art historical gaps by cultivating a global network of women, nonbinary, and trans practitioners whose work addresses spirituality. Hilma’s Ghost collaborated artistically on Abstract Futures Tarot exhibited at The Armory Show 2021 and has a solo exhibition, Radical Spirits up at Hill-Stead Museum until November 1. The collective has worked to create a growing online community of 6K individuals through exhibitions, curating, and online programming which connects artists with professional healers through workshops. To date, they have run a dozen such online programs on subjects ranging from automatic drawing to sigil-making.

Park McArthur is an artist who experiments with personal and social meanings of debility, delay and dependency under the guidance and instruction of disability. Her work has been described as questioning care alongside questions of autonomy and dependency. Her sculptures and conceptually driven installations are often composed of utilitarian materials such as blocks of foam or a Wikipedia entry. “Although the social and practical dimension of making art varies from piece to piece, I am consistently interested in finding ways of understanding debility and dependency as a generative space. As such, my work often comes from personal experience but seeks to arrive (or join) a space that exceeds the individual person.

Recent solo exhibitions include Kunsthalle Bern, Switzerland; Maxwell Graham / Essex Street, New York; and The Museum of Modern Art, New York. In 2019 McArthur joined The Department of Art & Design at Rutgers University The State University of New Jersey as Tepper Family Endowed Chair.
