Creative Consultations with Peta Rake

Spend 45 minutes online with Peta Rake, the Director and Senior Curator at University of Queensland Art Gallery. This online consultation is an opportunity to discuss and receive professional feedback on your artworks and arts practice.

Peta is the Director and Senior Curator at University of Queensland Art Museum. Her creative practice is currently attentive to transdisciplinary conversations focussed on blue research, working closely with artists and scientists to understand the psycho-social, political and gendered dimensions of coastal wetlands, sea country, intertidal zones, and the regeneration and articulation of these sites. Her work has always involved a large network of long-term collaborators and thinkers, with a keen interest in distributed curatorial work towards activism.

Rake’s previous roles at UQ Art Museum include Acting Director and Senior Curator. Before this she was located on Minhrpa (Banff), Treaty 7 Territory of the Îyârhe Nakoda, Tsuut’ina First Nation, and Blackfoot Confederacy where she was Co-Director of Creative Residencies, Visual + Digital Art Department and Curator of Walter Phillips Gallery/Banff International Curatorial Institute (BICI) (both at Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in Banff, Canada). She has also held roles at CCA (Ohlone/San Francisco) and Institute of Modern Art. She has developed projects at ISCP (Lenape/New York), Oakland Museum of California (Huichin/Oakland), CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Art (Ohlone/San Francisco), Art Gallery of Alberta (Amiskwaciy Waskahikan/Edmonton), Luggage Store Gallery (Ohlone/San Francisco), and Esker Foundation (Mohkinstsis/Calgary).
