About
Dr Torika Bolatagici is an artist, writer and academic working in photography, video, installation, publication, and curation. Drawing on her Fijian/Anglo-Celtic Australian ancestry, her work explores transcultural notions of value and the social, cultural and political movement of bodies. Shifting between the languages of documentary, archival recovery, re-enactment and abstraction, Torika explores the tensions and intersections of race, gender, power and commodification. She is the recipient of grants from the Australian Research Council, Creative Australia, Creative Victoria and the National Association of Visual Arts and her work has been exhibited in public and private institutions in San Francisco, New York, Miami, Minneapolis, Taiwan, Mexico City, Yogyakarta and throughout Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia.
