Subject Notes
Artist's bio:
"With parents from Australia and Malaysia, Sangeeta Sandrasegar spent her childhood between both countries. Her exploration of India and Australia, as personal sites of both homecoming and ancestry, and as nations with related colonial histories, has influenced her recent projects. Sandrasegar’s practice consolidates postcolonial and hybridity theory, exploring her context within Australia and its relationship to migrant communities and homelands. Her work
is based around the intersection of differing, often clashing, cultures and she investigates the similarities and disparities in histories that are both literary and visual. Sandrasegar has exhibited widely both locally and internationally, and is the recipient of several fellowships and prizes." - Australian War Memorial
