Santiago Mostyn is an artist whose practice foregrounds narrative entanglements in pursuit of new understandings of place, both in a cultural and psychic sense. Mostyn has long been interested in the interplay of music, narrative, and the embodied self, with works manifesting as films, exhibitions, and curatorial projects.

Mostyn received a B.A. from Yale University and M.A. from the Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm/ Sweden. Recent exhibitions include After the Sun at Buffalo AKG Art Museum (2024), The Threshold is a Prism at Kulturhuset, Stockholm/Sweden (2023), Mare Amoris / Sea of Love at Queensland Art Museum, Meanjin, Brisbane/Australia (2023), Dream One at Södertälje Konsthall, Södertälje/Sweden (2022), The Show is Over at South London Gallery, London/United Kingdom (2022), 08-18 (Past Perfect) at Gerðarsafn Art Museum, Reykjavik/Iceland (2022), and The Real Show at CAC Brétigny/France (2022). Mostyn was a fellow at Akademie Schloss Solitude in 2022 and is a 2024–2025 fellow at the Harvard-Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.
