Tīna Pētersone

Tīna Pētersone is an independent curator based in Riga, Latvia, and co-founder of Riga Art Week. At the core of her practice is a curiosity about the systems, rituals, and hidden undercurrents that define our time. She is interested in the infrastructures—social, cultural, political, and technological—that shape contemporary life, and in how artists render these often invisible forces visible, tangible, and open to reflection. Her practice spans exhibitions, performances, commissions, and collaborative projects, often beginning with what is missing—in context or content—and creating opportunities for new encounters, connections, and exchange.

Recent projects include Double Bind by Cem A., To Dust: A Memorial for Robot Vacuum Cleaners by Rosie Gibbens (Riga Art Week, 2026), HA by Jana Jacuka (Times New York, 2026), Eternal Return by Emilija Škarnulytė, Balance by Kitty Florentine (Riga Art Week, 2025), Aftermath by Nelly Agassi (Kim? Contemporary Art Centre, 2025), Selling Out (Ljubljana Art Weekend, 2024), and Field of Vision (Zuzeum, 2023).

Alongside her independent curatorial practice, she recently worked as Creative Producer and Curator of Contemporary Art Commissions for Liepāja 2027, European Capital of Culture. She holds an MFA in Curating from Goldsmiths, University of London, and has participated in residencies and fellowships at Cité Internationale des Arts (Paris), Hyde Park Art Center (Chicago), Performa Biennial (New York), the Curatorial Program for Research (Nordics), and the Salzburg International Summer Academy of Fine Arts, among others.
