Eimi Tagore is an independent curator and doctoral candidate of East Asian Studies at New York University. Her research focus is contemporary artists engaging with colonial history, memory, and politics of the Asia Pacific region. She recently completed a Curatorial Residency at Tokyo Arts and Space (TOKAS) and was a recipient of the 2024 Ishibashi Foundation / Japan Foundation Fellowship for Research on Japanese Art. Tagore's recent curatorial projects include “Un / Weaving: Haji Oh” (Alison Bradley Projects, 2024), “KANTEN” 観展: “The Limits of History” (apexart, 2023), and “Floating Monuments: Motoyuki Shitamichi” (Alison Bradley Projects, 2023). She was a 2023 Curatorial Fellow at the Shigeko Kubota Video Art Foundation and a 2021 Wikipedia Fellow for PoNJA-GenKon and Asia Art Archive in America. Tagore is currently completing her doctoral dissertation, “Crisis and Collectivity: Cartographies of Contemporary Transpacific Art”. The project challenges prevailing national frameworks in art history by constructing a counter-cartography of contemporary transpacific artistic resistance rooted in the entangled legacies of Japanese and American imperialism in the Pacific.
