About — Sati Varghese Mac

List of projects

Sati Varghese Mac is an artist and independent curator who sifts through meaning to find living pluralities. Through inquiry into her ancestral imaginaries from South India and China, and lineage wandering through Venezuela and Kuwait, alongside her experiences living in Mexico City, New York City, and Minneapolis, she is led to a fascination with the transgressive holes in destinies and how time and scale can interrupt fictions of fixity.

Sati left the Rhode Island School of Design with a degree in Sculpture and has worked with organizations such as Intermedia Arts, the Sylvia Rivera Law Project, and Public Functionary where she served as a curator from 2023-2025. Her sculpture and film work has been shown at the RISD Museum (Providence, RI), MoMa PS1 (Queens, NY), and 100% Silk Gallery (Toronto, ON). Sati was a 2024-25 fellow with the Emerging Curators Institute, and she is a recipient of the 2026 Visual Arts Fund from Midway Contemporary/the Andy Warhol Foundation, which will support programming at Promise Promise, a platform she founded in 2025 to platform sincerity in contemporary art.
