She has been affiliated with Maumaus in Lisbon (2021) and ‘The Whole Life: An Archive Project’ at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin (2022). Sarah was a Writer in Residence supported by the Kunstverein München (2022), and is currently an artist-researcher on ‘The Expanded Librarian’ supported by CRASSH at the University of Cambridge (2023-24).

Her work takes many forms, and has appeared in Another Gaze, Artforum, Art Monthly (UK), Camera Austria, Cashmere Radio, MAP, Mousse, Texte zur Kunst and Third Text, as well as the forthcoming book Reading Kofman in Constellation, edited by Rachel Pafe (Pseudo Press).
