Sarah Zapata
Sarah Zapata is a Brooklyn-based artist and writer. Through large-scale handmade textiles, her practice explores themes of tradition, architecture, and queerness, using cloth to adorn the space to direct the body. Invoking an imagined sense of time, her site-specific works reflect her intersecting identities as a queer woman of Peruvian heritage raised in Evangelical South Texas and now based in New York.
Sarah Zapata has exhibited work at ASU Art Museum, Arizona; Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Missouri; and Barbican Centre, London, among others.
