The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), which is still facing blowback for the dismissal of its curator of Canadian and Indigenous art, Wanda Nanibush, last November, has lost another curator of Indigenous art. Taqralik Partridge quietly left her role as associate curator of Indigenous art, focusing on Inuit art, according to The Globe and Mail.
Partridge told The Globe and Mail that she was leaving her curatorial position in order "to focus on her art practice", but neither Nanibush nor the AGO provided reasoning for her departure. In the aftermath of her exit, press coverage and a string of open letters have suggested that Nanibush's support for the Palestinian cause amidst the ongoing war in Gaza may have led to her dismissal.
