Sara Shamsavari

Sara Shamsavari is an inderdisciplinary artist and educator whose works explore global identity, inclusion and transformation. Several of her projects centre around challenging stereotypes and common preconceived judgements at a time of increasing division, conflict and polarisation. While each of her photographic series has a distinct focus, together, they seek to encourage our nuances as human beings.

Sara’s work has exhibited internationally in galleries, museums, public and political spaces including the Southbank Centre, City Hall, Museum of ContemporaryPhotography (Chicago), Lowe Museum of Art (Miami)), Espace Pierre Cardin (Paris), Museo Bardini (Florence) and Nathan Cummings Foundation (New York). Her work, exhibitions and profile have been featured multiple times across media and publications including BBC1, New York Times, i-D Magazine and the Guardian.

Shamsavari is a visiting lecturer at NYU Abu Dhabi and has guest lectured and delivered workshops internationally at cultural institutions including Tate Britain, National Gallery and the Royal Institution of Great Britain as well as guest lecturing at UAL, UCA, and John Cabot (Rome).
