Sarah Wong

Artist

Sarah Wong is an emerging writer, choreographer, and interdisciplinary artist based in Vancouver, Canada on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. Her work emerges from her lived experiences as a queer and disabled 2nd generation Chinese-“Canadian,” focusing on archival processes and accessing embodied intergenerational knowledge to trace relationships between identity and lineage. Her practice makes space for the multiple, creating work that spans score-based improvisational performances, ritual-based research, site-specific installation, textiles, poetry, film, and zines. She is devoted to cultivating practices of care, creating and facilitating spaces for bodies to rest. Sarah’s work has been presented in Vancouver by Arts Assembly, UNIT/PITT, Vines Art Festival, New Works, Number 3 Gallery, Hatch Art Gallery, The Dance Centre, dumb Instrument Dance, IGNITE! Youth Arts Festival, and Boombox, and internationally by Mosaico Danza Interplay Festival (Italy) and Sàn Art (Vietnam).
