Artist

sarah koekkoek is an ecology focused multidisciplinary artist working with movement, dance, flora and biomaterials. Her research examines movement as a language that can help cultivate greater understanding and compassion with our relationship to self, others and the earth. Often, her movements are generated by nurturing the reciprocal relationships of human-human and human-nonhuman through embodied offerings such as dance, text and flora collaborations. Since 2017 sarah’s work has been exploring our punctured relationship and existence within the abused and exploited natural world, developing an environment of (physical) emotions surrounding climate change and the anthropocene. After graduating with distinction from Goldsmiths University of London in the MA Art & Ecology Program in 2025, sarah now lives between (Tkaronto), Canada and London, UK.

sarah acknowledges that at the core of this practice is the recognition that she is an uninvited guest on the territory lands of the Wendat, The Haudenosaunee and The Mississaugas of The Credit First Nations. This informs how she moves through the creation process as well as daily life. It is imperative that we do all we can to be respectful to indigenous communities, uphold treaties and remain open to learning and evolving together.
