Seattle Arts and Lectures

Sarah is a recent graduate and educator from the University of Washington with a degree in English Literature, alongside a minor in Black Diasporic Studies. Anchored in Black Feminist Praxis, her work explores, troubles, and documents Black Fem(me) desire, abjection, be(longing), and the manner in which this manifests/registers relationally. Inspired by the words of Marlene NourbeSe Philip, Sarah believes “the power and threat of the artist, poet or writer lies in [the] ability to create new i-mages, i-mages that speak to the essential being of the people among whom and for whom the artist creates.” As an apprentice, she looks forward to discovering ways to infuse such inspiration into her pedagogical practice.
