Tol

The Netherlands
1990

Samboleap Tol (b. 1990) is a Khmer artist who creates kinetic sound sculptures. Her practice investigates the postcolonial diasporic psyche, examining how political disruptions have shaped generational understandings of love, faith, and dignity. Her installations are often interactive, grounded in personal storytelling while simultaneously probing the fragile nature of historiography, asking whose truths are preserved, transmitted, and ultimately understood as reality. Tol lives in Rotterdam and works between Yogyakarta and Siem Reap. She holds a Master’s in Fine Arts from the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam and studied Fine Arts at Central Saint Martins (University of the Arts London) and Sint Lucas School of Arts and Design in Antwerp. Exhibitions include Water Ways (Florida State University Museum of Fine Arts, 2025), Missen als een Ronde Vorm (Stedelijk Museum Schiedam, 2025), and Artist-In-Residence (Cemeti Institute for Arts and Society, Yogyakarta 2023). Tol is the recipient of the Dolf Henkes Prijs (2023)
