Hosted by Steven Henry Madoff, Founding Chair of the MA Curatorial Practice at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

The Curatorial Roundtable, an international forum for curators and institutional leaders to discuss formative and current projects, is hosted by Steven Henry Madoff, Founding Chair of the MA Curatorial Practice at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

Darienne “Dare” Turner is an art historian and curator specializing in Indigenous art, and an enrolled member of the Yurok Tribe of California. With degrees from Stanford University (Comparative Literature) and the Bard Graduate Center (Decorative Arts, Design History & Material Culture), she brings a cross-disciplinary perspective to her curatorial practice. Turner has held curatorial positions at the Baltimore Museum of Art and now serves as the Brooklyn Museum’s Curator of Indigenous Art—the institution’s first full-time curator dedicated to this field. Her projects foreground Indigenous sovereignty, survival, and contemporary artistic expression. In 2024, she curated the landmark site-specific commission Aaniin: I See Your Light by artist Nico Williams for the museum’s plaza, exemplifying her commitment to expanding public understanding of Indigenous creativity and presence within major cultural institutions.
