Trisha Lagaso Goldberg is an educator, public art consultant, and independent curator based between the San Francisco Bay Area and O'ahu, Hawai'i. Her curatorial practice centers on amplifying artists historically excluded from dominant narratives, including Indigenous peoples, people of color, and queer and trans communities, with a deep expertise in Asian and Pacific Islander diasporas.

A leader in both public and institutional art spaces, she was a dedicated member of the commissioned works branch of the Hawai'i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts (2006–2018), was the founding gallery director at  thirtyninehotel in Honolulu’s Chinatown, is a member of Ninth Planet, a transdisciplinary contemporary art collective that recently organized the Lagrange Point exhibition for /(Slash) in San Francisco, and has produced major exhibitions including the touring retrospective Carlos Villa: Worlds in Collision (2022) at the Newark Museum of Art and Asian Art Museum of San Francisco. She currently serves as Director of Programming & Engagement at the Anderson Collection at Stanford University.

Looking ahead, Lagaso Goldberg is developing two significant projects: the traveling exhibition Remittance (2026), commissioned by Independent Curators International, and Noguchi + Hawai'i (2027) for the Honolulu Museum of Art. She is also dedicated to mentorship, co-teaching museum studies at Stanford and lecturing at institutions including RISD and San Francisco State University.
