Hoska is the curator for Andrea Carlson: A Constant Sky (catalog and exhibition, DAM, Oct 2025) and Sustained: The Persistent Genius of Indigenous Art (DAM, 2024). She was part of a 3-person curatorial team that reinstalled the Denver Art Museum’s Indigenous Arts of North America space, began their Indigenous Arts Community Council and served as the co-author and editor of Here Now: Indigenous Arts of North America at the Denver Art Museum (2022).

Come to the National Museum of the American Indian and hear curator Anya Montiel (Mestiza/Tohono O'odham descent) giving a closer look at the museum’s special installation Making a Statement, which demonstrates how Native women combine traditional design elements with modern military symbolism to demonstrate cultural pride and honor military service. The installation features a historical Lakota beaded dress decorated with elaborate patriotic American imagery and a blue jingle dress made by members of the Native American Women Warriors to show pride in their Indigenous heritage and to emphasize the role of Native women in the military. Then, get hands-on to learn more about beadwork, jingle cones, and other design elements related to Native dressmaking in the museum’s Teaching Collection.
