Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya is a Brooklyn-based transdisciplinary artist whose work spans fiber art, sculpture, painting, and installation. Rooted in her Thai and Indonesian heritage, Phingbodhipakkiya’s work employs materials such as hand-knotted rope, reclaimed textiles, talismans, and vessels to investigate themes of absence, displacement, and inherited trauma, transforming them into expressions of resilience, ritual, and repair. Her practice foregrounds the embodied knowledge of immigrant communities and the often-invisible labor of women, and constructs liminal spaces where memory, touch, and materiality intersect.
Sadaf Padder is an independent curator, art advisor, and certified educator. She has organized programs across the country, from Philadelphia to Los Angeles to Martha’s Vineyard, focusing on themes of climate change and neo-mythology to weave connections between various communities.
