"Hilma's Ghost represents an experimental manifestation of feminist research and esoteric practice, expressed through artmaking and community building, challenging the sidelining of alternative histories."
"The collective was inspired by the public interest in sacred and supernatural themes following Hilma af Klint's retrospective, which highlighted her as a pioneer of abstraction."
"Conversations about mortality during the pandemic led to reflections on the power and erasure of alternative spiritualities, prompting the formation of the collective."
"Tegeder's independent practice, rooted in her long-standing engagement with tarot and witchcraft, seeks to abstract the visual language of schematic draftsmanship to explore concepts of utopia."
Hilma's Ghost, a feminist art collective formed by Dannielle Tegeder and Sharmistha Ray, seeks to reclaim alternative spiritualities in art history. Inspired by Hilma af Klint's retrospective at the Guggenheim, the collective emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on themes of mortality and the erasure of spiritual practices. Tegeder's background in tarot and witchcraft informs their artistic exploration, aiming to challenge the traditional narratives that have marginalized these spiritualities in the art world.
