ABOUT THE WORK
a route to the agency of transformative being looks into the practice of configuring the multiplicities of becoming and unbecoming. The visual metaphors between the objects and subjects act as systems of knowledge production, an assemblage of found digital assets converging with or against into a collective identity.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Priyageetha Dia (b.1992) is an interdisciplinary artist from Singapore. Her practice oscillates on the multifaceted narratives of how brownness morphs and embodies through identity politics, in-between spaces, and the other. To unpack the colloquial experience of how surveillance and oppression manifests from within and out, she simultaneously subverts and highlights the brown condition with her gold alter ego.
She is known for her work ‘The Golden Staircase’ in 2017 and ‘Golden Flags’ in 2018. In 2019, she was presented with the IMPART Artist Award by Art Outreach, Singapore.
