Prita Hasjim is an American-Indonesian contemporary artist who works span across sculpture, performance, technology, and social commentary.

Raised between the San Francisco Bay Area and Jakarta, Indonesia, her multicultural background informs a practice grounded in spatial relationships and cross-cultural dialogue. Drawing on a decade of experience as a software engineer, she creates work that investigates the evolving relationship between humans and technology.

As both a visual artist and performer, she bridges traditional and contemporary forms of expression. Her background in contemporary and popular dance styles, as well as circus performance, deeply influences her understanding of the body, space, and temporality. Most notably, she has performed at Burning Man and other music and arts festivals as a dancer and fire dancer.

In 2025, Hasjim began incorporating textiles, ceramics, and papier-mâché into her practice. This research allows her to integrate tactile elements into her new media work whilst learning about her cultural heritage as a Chinese-Indonesian artist, a background she has previously been disconnected from, having moved to America at an early age. In 2026, she will continue researching religious and cultural imagery and its intersection with society’s growing reliance on AI and technology. As part of this inquiry, she seeks to research religious and cultural “third spaces” as sites for understanding identity, collective memory, and belonging.

Prita is currently based between Paris, France, and San Francisco, California. In late 2026, she will be moving to Barcelona, Spain to pursue a Master of Ephemeral Architecture.
