Ché Zara Blomfield is a curator and Arts and Culture Coordinator for Progressive International. Ché has curated over 40 exhibitions in seven countries and in 2010, founded the project space The Composing Rooms in London. Her themes of interest have encompassed the emergence of post-globalised art, post-traumatic growth in the Anthropocene, and creative resistance. In late 2024 she launched a series of fundraising art editions for Progressive International highlighting the interconnectedness of Indigenous worldviews, intending to piece together the fragmented yet present universal solidarity in the face of ongoing colonial destruction.
