We are thrilled to welcome greta hamilton (they/she) as the Robert McLaughlin Gallery’s new TD Assistant Curator, a two-year position made possible through the generous support of TD. This curatorial role is a cornerstone of the RMG’s commitment to nurturing emerging talent, expanding curatorial voices, and supporting new research that culminates in a major exhibition in 2028.
Raised as a settler on unceded Ligwilda’xw Kwakwaka’wakw territory on Northern Vancouver Island, greta brings a deeply considered practice grounded in environmental and land-based processes. Working through queer and feminist frameworks, their curatorial and theoretical work explores topics as wide-ranging as public bathing, artist gardens, and traditional craft practices—always attentive to the social, ecological, and embodied relations that shape contemporary art.
greta holds an MA in Art History and Visual Culture from the University of Guelph, where their graduate research examined the craft histories of utopic and anarchist settlers in British Columbia. Their writing has appeared extensively in Canadian art publications, including C Magazine, esse, Public Parking, Peripheral Review, Grain Magazine, Hammam Magazine, Leste, and numerous exhibition texts and catalogues distributed by Canadian galleries and artist-run-centres.
“greta’s work brings a combination of intellectual rigour, material curiosity, and care for the communities and ecologies that shape artistic practice. Their approach resonates deeply with the RMG’s values and our commitment to experimentation, grounded research, and community collaboration. We are excited to welcome them into our team and to support the development of their work over the next two years.”
— Leila Timmins, Senior Curator
We extend our sincere thanks to TD for their continued investment in emerging curators and for making this opportunity possible. Their support strengthens the future of curatorial practice in Canada and enriches the cultural life of our region.
Please join us in welcoming greta to the RMG!
