Author: Sati Varghese Mac

Sati dreams of a world that can support the multiplicities of her people. Her practices commemorate the will to transform as a part of nature’s cycles of change through inquiry into her ancestral imaginaries from South India and China, and a lineage wandering through Venezuela and Kuwait, alongside her experiences living in Mexico City, New York City, and Minneapolis, where she is currently based. Her existence leads her to a fascination with transgressive holes in destinies and how time and scale can interrupt fictions of fixity. Sati left the Rhode Island School of Design with a degree in Sculpture, and is a 2024-25 fellow with the Emerging Curators Institute. She has worked with organizations such as Intermedia Arts and the Sylvia Rivera Law Project, and as an artist and filmmaker, her work has been shown at the RISD Museum (Providence, RI), MoMa PS1 (Queens, NY), 100% Silk Gallery (Toronto, ON), Studio 11 (San Francisco, CA) and Public Functionary, where she now works to curate.
