Citra Sasmita

Citra Sasmita is a contemporary Indonesian artist known for her vibrant reinterpretations of traditional Balinese art, particularly Kamasan scrolls. Her work explores themes of feminism, rebellion, and the transformation of women within patriarchal narratives, challenging conventional depictions of femininity in historical texts. Sasmita’s recent exhibition, 'Into Eternal Land,' at London’s Barbican, showcases her unique approach to storytelling, where she reimagines mythological figures as powerful female protagonists, thus reclaiming and redefining the narratives of her cultural heritage.
