Artist Bio:

Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya is a Brooklyn-based transdisciplinary artist. Born in Atlanta to Thai and Indonesian immigrants, her practice spans participatory installations, textile, sculpture, large-scale murals, and public art. Her work has been shown at the Brooklyn Museum, Lincoln Center, The Museum of the City of New York, Times Square, and countless rallies and protests around the world. Amanda’s work transforms everyday spaces into spheres of healing and monuments of belonging. Her process draws upon community contribution and personal narrative to shape portals made of textile, metal, wood, and dreams: an ecosystem of reciprocity between the artist and her communities. Through ceremony and ritual, delicate moments of connection and unexpected vulnerability emerge — creating a path to expansive thinking and new possibilities.
