Hiromi Tango is a Japanese Australian Artist who migrated to Australia in 1998 from Shikoku Island, Japan. She has been a resident of the Bundjalung Country, Tweed Heads, NSW since 2014.
For nearly two decades, Tango has focused on the intersection between art and science, with a particular focus on health and mental wellbeing. Drawing on her own experiences of anxiety, her installations and performances traverse the embodied self, the emotional terrain of our relationships with others, and the healing possibilities of art. She has collaborated with numerous scientists, health professionals and research institutions, exploring how various aspects of the art-making process can contribute to positive mental wellbeing.
Hiromi Tango's work has been exhibited at major national art museums and regional galleries across Australia. Her work has also featured at international exhibitions in the United States, Belgium, Dubai and throughout Asia Pacific including Singapore, South Korea, Japan, Indonesia and New Zealand. Tango is represented in Australian and international public collections including Artbank, Sydney; Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney; University of Queensland; and la Maison Folie, Belgium.
