Salima Hakim, born 1978 in Jakarta – Indonesia, is a university lecturer and visual artist. She explores issues of gender representation in history and archaeology, using stitching as both a technical and metaphorical approach in her work.

She experiments with finding and merging scientific and fictional data to question how knowledge is produced, while also imagining and reproducing fictional historical narratives of women. In her current practice, she often works with embroidery and hand-stitched fabric, employing a historical descriptive approach to visualize data.

She is currently a lecturer in art history at the Faculty of Art and Design at Multimedia Nusantara University in Tangerang, Indonesia.
