Tana Hargest
Dark Matter Cooperative Network Co-Founder
Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul Area
Tana Hargest is a cultural producer and cooperative developer excited to co-create art and ideas that propel society forward on the path to liberation. Tana has developed a wide range of digital, arts, and education programs for creative and learning communities in New York, Boston, and the Twin Cities. She creates art and action through four intersecting ways of working — interdisciplinary art making that focuses on issues of power, race, and class; audience and civic engagement through collective art actions and cooperative economics; consulting work focused on effecting systemic change within the arts ecosystem; and generating joy with the Subversive Sirens, a Minnesota-based synchronized swim team committed to Black liberation, equity in swimming, body positivity in athleticism, and queer visibility.
