Natsumi Sakamoto

Natsumi Sakamoto is an artist based in Glasgow and Japan who creates multi-media installations that include film, drawing and animation. Her work explores notions of memory, gender and care often with collaborative approach. It employs oral tradition to examine memories of hidden history through a feminist lens. She explores the politics of care work and gender roles embedded in the intangible heritage of superstitions, songs and everyday ritual passed down through intergenerational memory. In recent years, her work has revolved around historical investigations of women’s solidarity that existed on the ‘periphery’ of feminism. Her recent exhibitions/projects include; Dismantling Motherhood, ACY Artist Fellowship, (2023), When Bodies Whisper, Timespan (2023) Knitting the Intangible Voices, 16 Nicholson Street (2021). She is a member of Back and Forth Collective.
