Natasha Zeta

Natasha Zeta (b. 1993, Mumbai, India) is a mixed media painter who creates interactive portraiture with broken mirrors, allowing the viewer to step into another perspective, challenge their conceptions and empathize with her subjects. Zeta seeks to amplify narratives from marginalized communities that disproportionately experience mental illness, but whose stories are vastly underrepresented in our conversations about mental health. To further this mission, Zeta collaborates with nonprofits to paint their constituents, foster community engagement, cultivate cultural reform, and raise public awareness.

In 2022, Zeta received the Center for Emerging Visual Artists Fellowship. She also received grants from the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority’s Fund for Art and Civic Engagement (with support from the Knight Foundation), Puffin Foundation, and was a finalist for the Barbara Deming Foundation Money for Women Grant.

In 2021-22, Zeta worked with Safe Horizon’s Anti Trafficking Program, the nation’s leading victims assistance organization providing case management, psychotherapy, and legal assistance to trafficking survivors. 

In 2023-24, Zeta is working with Women Against Abuse, Philadelphia’s largest domestic abuse service provider, to create space and visibility for domestic abuse survivors and their scars, sites of somatic healing, artwork, and journeys.
