Natasha Tontey

Natasha Tontey (Indonesia, 1989) has an artistic practice that predominantly investigates fictional accounts of history and myths surrounding “manufactured fear.” In her research, she observes possibilities of other futures designed not from the perspective of hegemonic institutions but rather from a subtle and personal struggle of marginalized entities and beings. The notions of spirituality, transcendence, and popular culture are central to her work. Her recent exhibitions include shows at the MACAN Museum (Indonesia), the 34th Singapore International Film Festival, the Singapore Biennale, Arko Art Council (South Korea), and the Museum für Gegenwart, Germany. She lives between Jakarta and Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
