Dominique Kistan (she/her) is dedicated to cultivating spaces where marginalised voices are centred and celebrated, and where cultural institutions actively engage in decolonizing practices.
In her current role as a project manager at a London-based creative agency, she has worked with the world’s leading global tech companies, alongside cultural institutions such as the Museum of West African Art and purpose-driven organisations like the Orchid Project to help them reach audiences with impactful messaging. She is also involved with collaborative initiatives that demystify the creative industry and encourage and educate aspiring creatives.
She studied International Relations and Global issues at the University of Nottingham, and wrote her dissertation on identity politics. She has published work for community and arts enterprise Yellowzine, reflecting a commitment to amplifying underrepresented voices in the arts.
Dominique advocates for a more inclusive and equitable approach to British art curation through decolonizing museum narratives. Her professional and educational journey shows a dedication to challenging mainstream narratives about identity and how underrepresented communities navigate predominantly white spaces. She aims to foster dialogue around representation in cultural spaces and how they can better reflect the stories of communities affiliated with art and artefacts that have been removed from their origins.
