Satur Chong, originally from Malaysia, is a multidisciplinary artist based in London since graduating from the Royal College of Art. Her practice spans jewelry, wearable objects, sculpture, film, and performance. With a touch of humor, she explores identity and contemporary social issues from a uniquely individual perspective. The Bowler hat has a deep-rooted cultural linkage with the identity of a specific gender, race, and status. Besides the mischievous play between decent and awkward, covering and unveiling, sociological and biological characteristics of the term “gentleman”. Satur highlights shifting gender dynamics. Hidden feminine materials within her pieces symbolically suggest women breaking free from the constraints of a patriarchal world, revealing their presence and power.
