Sancintya Simpson was born 1991 Brisbane, Australia, where she currently works and lives. She is a first generation Australian whose migrant parents are of South African-Indian and Anglo-New Zealand heritage. The impact of being brought up in a cross-cultural environment has had a major influence on Simpson’s artistic practice; leading her work to be based on personal experience within the themes of transnationalism, diaspora, hybridity, stereotyping and identity.
