About
Cassia Artanegara (b. 1998) is a visual artist and designer from xučyun, the occupied and unceded territory of the Chochenyo-speaking Ohlone people (specifically and also known as Albany, California). After receiving their B.A.’s in Art and Computer Science at U.C. Santa Cruz, they worked in the data privacy space, creating image-based narratives that explored power relations in the data and technology ecosystem. She currently organizes art spaces for community to explore and connect with their inherent creativity, including co-facilitating an Intro to Expressive Painting class at Youth Spirit Artworks and co-organizing an art show featuring 35 Indonesian artists in diaspora.Artanegara’s multimedia work, spanning painting, photography, knit, crochet, and creative code, explores liminality and belonging, particularly through the lens of family, immigration, and diaspora. What personal, relational, and cultural identities must we construct to survive in an America that demands assimilation and complicity? In what ways do we carry or inherit our ancestors’ memory, grief, and yearning with us in our bodies, and how far do those effects cycle throughout space and time? And finally, what futures emerge from the murky interstices in which we have made a home?
