Tara Fay Coleman is an artist, independent curator, writer, and cultural worker from Buffalo, NY. Her work considers how power shapes what is seen, and what is left out or obscured. She works across writing, performance, and curatorial projects, returning to questions of visibility and who controls meaning.

Her practice is rooted in lived experience and often takes form through text, image, performance, and staged encounters that resist easy interpretation. She frequently places her own body within the work, treating it as an object to be looked at, read, or misread.

As a curator, she works in close dialogue with artists, and her approach is attentive to presence, and to the conditions that allow work to exist without being over-explained. She is committed to centering Black cultural production without requiring it to account for itself.

Her writing moves between critical reflection and personal narrative, shaped by memory, place, and experience.

Tara Fay currently lives and works between Pittsburgh, PA and New Haven, CT.
