Priyageetha Dia
-
Priyageetha Dia is an interdisciplinary artist based in Singapore. She works at the intersections of the biographical and cultural production of the Tamizh identity. Nurturing speculative fiction and decolonial feminist thought, she works across digital animation, installation, and performance. Combining personal narratives and national histories to re-present the notion of the ‘future-past’, her practice unfolds the complexities of identity politics and spatial relations of the Tamizh diasporic experience in Singapore and Southeast Asia. Dia’s work offers speculative narratives on Southeast Asian plantations, which she views as sites for recovering stories of resistance. Her research interests also include building nonlinear narratives through digital semiotics, migrant histories, and our relationship with the non-human. Her practice represents an important voice from a new generation of Singaporean artists, and their unique position to discuss ecological issues through the lens of decolonization and technologically mediated reality.
