About Suchitra Mattai
Suchitra Mattai is a multi-disciplinary American artist of Indo-Caribbean descent whose work preserves ancestral stories through the exploration of memory and myth. She often combines processes and materials once associated with the domestic sphere, such as embroidery, beading, and sewing, to honor the labor of women. Past projects include solo exhibitions at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC, the ICA San Francisco, the Tampa Museum of Art, Socrates Sculpture Park in NYC, and group exhibitions at the MCA Chicago, the ICA Boston, Crystal Bridges Museum of Art, and the Sharjah Biennial 14. Her works are represented in collections including Crystal Bridges Museum of Art, the Denver Art Museum, the Tampa Museum of Art, the MCA San Diego, and the Joslyn Museum of Art. Suchitra received an MFA in painting and drawing and an MA in South Asian art from the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.
