Tintin Wulia is an Indonesian Australian artist whose multidisciplinary practice grapples with the complexities of geopolitics. For over 20 years she has researched, uncovered, and provided agency to voices that have been silenced, hidden or ‘disappeared’ by history’s dominant narrators. Using personal stories, archival objects and recounted memories, Wulia re-tells the past and brings it into the present—decoding, reinterpreting and reinvigorating it in the process. By providing a more comprehensive and interconnected view of histories, her work helps us better understand our global present and the choices we will need to make towards a more socially just future.
Tintin Wulia: Secrets is an RMIT Culture produced exhibition at RMIT Gallery.
