Biography

Hilma's Ghost - Artists - GALERÍA RGR

(Brooklyn, USA, 2020)

Hilma’s Ghost is a feminist artist collective that was co-founded by artists and educators Sharmistha Ray and Dannielle Tegeder at the peak of the pandemic, in 2020. The essence of their artistic collaboration lies in acknowledging mysticism as a wellspring of collective wisdom that has fostered personal resilience and sparked aesthetic ingenuity for women artists across eras.

Through exhibitions, workshops, and publications, the collective forges connections between artists and healers, innovating novel, liberatory practices tailored to women, non-binary, and trans artists of the contemporary era. Over the past couple of years, Hilma’s Ghost has cultivated undertakings that champion experimental teaching methods, transcultural dialogue, and the scaffolding of communities, all through the prism of feminism, geometric abstraction, and spirituality.

Most recent solo, group exhibitions and projects include Radical Spirits: Tarot Automatism, and Feminist Histories at Hill-Stead Museum, Connecticut, USA (2022); Enchantments: Bottled Devotionals of Divine Feminine Spirits at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Connecticut, USA (2024); Queer histories at the Museu de Arte de São Paulo, Brazil (2024); Chromatic Altar at Guggenheim Museum, New York, USA (2024); and La hora de la estrella, the upcoming solo show at Galería RGR, Mexico City, Mexico.

Ray and Tegeder work together in Brooklyn, New York.
