Pris Roos (1984) is a Rotterdam based artist, teacher, curator, researcher and storyteller. As a child she grew up in the toko of her family who emigrated from Indonesia. For, Roos, the toko symbolizes a space of being together, colours, smells, food, stories and a mixture of people from different backgrounds. The toko is a source of wealth for her art practice.
As an artist she works with different mediums such as painting, spoken word, video, performance and installation. By listening en observing the people she encounters, she reflects on topics such as identity, migration and memory.
