Natasha Tontey (b. 1989, Jakarta, Indonesia), Natasha Tontey is a Minahasan artist based between Yogyakarta and Jakarta. Her practice explores the speculative mythologies surrounding “manufactured fear,” imagining futures from the perspective of marginalized entities rather than dominant institutions. Working through video and performance, she merges folklore with science fiction to propose alternative worlds of resistance and care. Her work explores tenderness amid terror, inviting viewers to imagine affective relations beyond fear. Tontey has exhibited at Museum MACAN (Jakarta), Auto Italia London, the Singapore Biennale, Istanbul Biennale, and BFI London Film Festival among others. She received the 2024 Han Nefkens Foundation Video Production Grant and 2020 HASH Award from ZKM.
