Seema Mattu
- Website: https://seemamattuworld.com
Seema Mattu is a fluid Valmiki artist, whose practice is framed as a theme park - known as SEEMAWORLD.
This comprises the mimicry and world-building of multiple facilities and services, which act as portals to a specific aspect of SEEMAWORLD. Through the welding of both 2D and 3D mixed-media, themes explored include: the system of caste, queer sorcery and gender taxonomy.
Her works have been shown in collaboration with a number of organisations, including: Eastside Projects (Birmingham, UK), CCA (Glasgow, UK), Fotomuseum (Zürich, Switzerland), ICA (London, UK), LUX (London, UK) and New Art City.
