our contemporary conditioning. Her practice centres on
approachability, explored through research, exhibition-making and framework-development for accessible art encounters and alternative artist ecosystems.
She creates (facilitates, writes, curates, connects networks, speaks, moderates public talks and consults on) encounters for audiences to navigate urgent issues of our time, from ecological, social, urban, digital, to the invisible and mystical. Her process is informed by collaboration, research, experimentation and a non-disciplinary approach that prioritises ideas over traditional academic boundaries.
Tulika founded Mama Magnet in 2020 to foster cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural encounters. Previously, she was Curator at Kult gallery
and Co-curator (special projects) at The MeshMinds Foundation,
a climate-tech startup. She has developed exhibitions for National Museum of Singapore, 8Q at Singapore Art Museum, Goethe-institut Singapore, Meta, The Tezos exhibition at S.E.A Focus, Singapore Writers’ Festival After Dark edition and Night Festival by National Heritage Board.
To date, her close work with visual artists has realised more than 50 installation commissions and site-specific activations, from
miniatures to monumental.
She was curator-in-residence at Ketemu Project’s 2019 Creability Movement program, developing cross-disability artistic collaborations across Southeast Asia. In 2026, she was selected as a participant in TBA21 Academy’s Organismo research lab.
