Next month, Sara begins Restorative Practices training – a major step toward role as visual arts-based restorative practice facilitator.
Current Studio Practice
In preparation for the upcoming Rural Peace Hub event, Sara is building her participatory ‘toolkit’ around visual arts-based peacebuilding.
See her latest installation – Peaces of Us – created from collage ‘leftovers’ from 30 years of creative practice.
Extending her Begun with Others series, she’s been developing material made in last year’s participatory workshops in Venice, Rwanda and South Africa.
Workshops, etc.
Sara’s ongoing venture with Arts Lab – fusing her artist, educator, and peacebuilder practices – is to promote visual art as a means to develop holistic, creative and practical approaches to resolving conflict and strengthening communities.
She does this through an evolving programme of workshops. See here >>>
Sara also hosts live open studio events at the Rural Peace Hub, and regularly updates Arts Lab’s online Gallery and Art Matters.
As the Founder and Director of Arts Lab since 2016, Sara has designed and led numerous projects in the UK and overseas (mainly Africa). Through her socially engaged art practice, she has worked with the criminal justice system, education, mental health, refugees, faith groups, and the art world, and more.
