Sakinah Alatas is an Indonesian-Australian artist born in 1994 in Bogor, Indonesia, who lives and works in Perth. She graduated from Jakarta State University.

Working in textiles and domestic materials, Alatas draws on her Arab-Indonesian heritage and Muslim faith to explore womanhood, motherhood and spiritual submission. Using a tufting gun as well as hand embroidery, she makes large rugs, collages and thread-based installations modelled on the prayer mats on which Muslims prostrate in worship — the ultimate gesture of surrender to God. Into these tufted fields she weaves intimate autobiography: marriage, pregnancy and caesarean birth, the loss of her mother, and Arabic inscriptions such as Qadarullah ("Divine Decree"). The result is a quiet but forceful meditation on gender, faith and the roles of wife and mother, and on the barriers women navigate within them.

In 2025 Alatas showed in the group exhibition Seamline: Narrative of Identity and Memory at REDBASE Art, Sydney. In 2022 she won the Emerging Artist Award at the 67th Blake Prize for Qadarullah, a work made in the week she lost her mother and gave birth to her son. She has exhibited across Indonesia, Australia, Thailand and India, including at the Cemeti Institute for Art and Society, Yogyakarta, and Gudskul Ekosistem, Jakarta, and her work is held in the Casula Powerhouse Collection (Liverpool City Council), Sydney.
