Martha Atienza (Philippines, b. 1981) is a Dutch-Filipino video artist born in Manila.[1] Born to a Dutch mother and Filipino sea-captain father in a family of seafarers, she works with video, sound and installation to explore histories of migration, labour, identity and environmental degradation.[2][3][4][5]
She was awarded the Afield Fellowship in 2024,[6] won the Baloise Art Prize in Art Basel in 2017,[1] was twice awarded the Ateneo Art Awards in Manila in 2012 and 2016, and received the Cultural Center of the Philippines Thirteen Artist Award in 2015.[7] She has participated in international biennales and triennials including the 2nd Diriyah Contemporary Art Biennale, Riyadh (2024),[8][9] 17th Istanbul Biennial, Istanbul (2022),[10] Bangkok Art Biennale: Escape Routes, BACC, Bangkok (2020),[7] Honolulu Biennial: To Make Wrong / Right / Now, Oahu, Hawaii (2019); and the 9th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art, QAGOMA, Brisbane (2018).[11] She exhibited her work at New York's Times Square's electronic billboard in July 2024.[7][12]
In addition to her art practice, Atienza is the president and co-founder with her brother Jake Atienza of GoodLand, a community-centered platform on Bantayan Island which has evolved from Atienza's interest in art as a tool for social change.[12][4]
