Arts Lab continues to develop its participatory visual arts methodology through workshops, artist residencies, international collaborations and research. Recent highlights include the inaugural Winter Gathering at the Rural Peace Hub, new restorative practice training, and the development of an integrated methodology bringing together visual arts, peacebuilding and community-led change.
Current Studio Practice
See Sara’s latest installation – Peaces of Us – developing themes that also underpin her Begun with Others series. The installation explores material transformation, memory and renewal through the creative reuse of fragments that might otherwise be discarded.
Extending her Begun with Others series, she’s also been developing material made in recent year’s participatory workshops in Venice, Rwanda and South Africa.
Workshops, etc.
Through Arts Lab, Sara develops and shares a participatory visual arts methodology that integrates artistic enquiry, peacebuilding and restorative practice to strengthen creativity, relationships and community-led change. This evolving programme includes workshops, artist residencies, exhibitions, research, open studio events at the Rural Peace Hub and international partnerships.
Over the past four decades Sara has designed and led participatory visual arts projects throughout the UK and internationally, working with schools, universities, artists, refugees and displaced people, genocide survivors, people in prison, faith communities and organisations across the arts, education, justice, health and community sectors. These collaborations continue to inform both her studio practice and the evolving methodology she shares through Arts Lab.
