Belle Phromchanya (b. 1984, Bangkok) is an artist, designer, and cultural worker based in Rotterdam. Her practice explores the construction of biography and the ways personal and collective narratives are shaped, distorted, or erased. Working across film, installation, publishing, and curatorial projects, she examines the shifting boundaries of identity, digital legacies, and the politics of visibility. Often engaging with insider-outsider dynamics, her work reflects on transborder experiences and the negotiation of belonging within dominant cultural narratives.

Phromchanya is a tutor at Willem de Kooning Academy and co-founder of NON NATIVE NATIVE, a platform that engages with Asian representation within the Dutch and European cultural landscape. Through research, exhibitions, and public interventions, NNN connects contemporary creative practices with local diaspora narratives, fostering new modes of exchange and visibility. It also organizes NON NATIVE NATIVE FAIR (NNNFAIR), an alternative cultural fair that subverts conventional frameworks of Asian trade fairs, reimagining them as spaces for discourse and cross-cultural exchange. Across her work, she continues to interrogate structures of belonging, visibility, and authorship—celebrating the art of reclaiming the unclaimed.
