Sakinah Alatas was born in 1994 in Bogor, Indonesia. She graduated from the Art Education Department at Jakarta State University.
Sakinah’s artistic practice centers around the use of textiles and domestic materials to explore themes of identity, gender, and spirituality. Drawing on her Arab-Indonesian heritage, she creates hand-tufted rugs, collages, and thread-based installations that reflect personal and collective memories. Her works combine everyday materials with intimate narratives, forming a quiet yet powerful commentary on womanhood and cultural tradition.
In 2025, Sakinah Alatas participated in a group exhibition Seamline: Narrative of Identity and Memory at Redbase Art Sydney.
She has also participated in exhibitions at Cemeti Institute for Art and Society, Ace House Collective, Art Jakarta, Gudskul Ekosistem, and Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre, Australia.
We pay our respects to the Gundungurra people who are the traditional custodians of the land. We acknowledge Elders past, present and emerging for their immense spiritual connection to place which was never ceded.
