Rita Ouédraogo

Rita Ouédraogo is an Amsterdam-based curator, art and culture consultant, researcher, and writer who has built a practice at the intersection of arts and research. Drawing on Black feminist pedagogies and memory work, she interrogates colonialism and its afterlives in Europe and the Caribbean, while challenging institutional power. Her work amplifies narratives of marginalized publics through archives, critical pedagogies, and collaborative methodologies that operate both within exhibition spaces and beyond them. She is co-founder curator of Buro Stedelijk, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam’s project space showcasing the city’s dynamic contemporary art scene. As chair of the Mondriaan Fund of the Netherlands and board member of Kanaal40, an online and offline (micro)pop platform, she shapes cultural policy and alternative networks.
