Tintin Wulia (b. 1972) is an Indonesian living in Australia, UK, and Sweden, who looks at the geopolitical and societal borders as interfaces. She has presented multidisciplinary installation works on border-related themes—including citizenship, warfare, and state secrecy—where she interweaves her upbringing as a Chinese-Indonesian ethnic minority and her personal experiences of migration with globalization and global politics. As an artistic researcher she currently studies declassified US documents related to the 1965-66 Indonesian genocide, as well as the role of aesthetic objects in sociopolitical transformation. This exhibition will consider hidden histories and sociopolitical transitions through Wulia’s works and workshop programs.
