Priyageetha Dia's research delves into the complexities of identity politics and spatial relations of the Tamizh diasporic experience in Singapore and the Southeast Asian region.
Priyageetha Dia works with time-based media and installation. Her practice is braided between the speculation of the tropics and the ancestral intelligence within the machine. Through archival and field research, she engages in nonlinearity as a practice of refusal against dominant narratives.
Recent exhibitions include Frieze Seoul (2023); Singapore Art Museum (2023); Kochi-Muziris Biennale, Kerala (2022–2023); La Trobe Art Institute, Australia (2022); National Gallery Singapore (2020); and Art Science Museum, Singapore (2019). She was an artist-in-residence at the NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore in 2022 and the SEA AiR—Studio Residencies at the Jan van Eyck Academie in the Netherlands in 2023.
