Sarah Sandler is a research-based artist, curator, and arts educator. Her work explores the intersections of environmentalism, the humanities, and technology, examining how evolving environmental histories influence our perceptions and interactions with the living planet.

Working across various media and drawing from feminist perspectives, Sandler investigates the ways regional histories and inter-species relationships remain connected to colonial and extractive practices. Her sensorial and intuitive approach challenges hegemonic binaries and fosters alternate ecologies that prioritise harmony, cohabitation, and multiple futures.

By addressing gaps in environmental historiography and gendered archival perspectives, Sandler collaborates with scientific archives and collections to recontextualise their institutional knowledge within the changing global landscape. Resulting in long-term projects centred around geological, vegetal and aquatic ecologies, along with engagement with local communities in France, Australia, and Papua New Guinea.

Sandler’s practice invites critical reflection on our deep connection with the living planet, centring the cultivation of renewed sensibilities and generative forms of ecological awareness. She has exhibited in France and abroad, and her works are in private and public collections.
