Born in Aotearoa/New Zealand,
Chantal Fraser is a
Meanjin-based
Samoan artist working across photography, performance, and sculpture. Informed by her lived experience, Fraser’s practice examines and subverts the structures of capitalism and state authorities, often by using ornamentation and personal adornment. Chantal Fraser’s multimedia practice has garnered significant acclaim within Australian contemporary art and reflects the complexity of lived experiences for diasporic Samoan and Pasifika communities. Exploring ritual, adornment and gestures of exchange, Fraser’s works make use of a vast array of artistic, musical and spiritual sources, from global pop culture to folk and customary practices.
Fraser’s work has been included in numerous exhibitions nationally and internationally, including at the Queensland Art Gallery - Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane; the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane; the Vancouver Art Gallery, Canada; and La Cité internationale des Arts, France.

The Ascended crystallises Fraser’s exploration of power and class through her anti-colonial and anti-capitalist strategies, developing a theory that links ornamentation, personal protective devices and protest aesthetics as means to subvert and liberate identities.
