Artist-Led Tour: Sara Jimenez, Folding Field

Sara Jimenez (she/her) explores the material embodiment of deep transcultural memories. As a diasporic Filipinx-Canadian artist, she is interested in materializing invisible narratives around origins and home, loss and absence. She works in installation, sculpture, collage, and performance, to create visual metaphors that allude to mythical environments and reimagined artifacts. Selected exhibitions include Rachel Uffner Gallery, El Museo del Barrio, Morgan Lehman Gallery, BRIC Gallery, The Brooklyn Museum, The Bronx Museum, and Smack Mellon, among others. She has performed at numerous venues including The Dedalus Foundation, The Noguchi Museum, Jack, The Glasshouse, and Dixon Place. Selected artist residencies include Brooklyn Art Space, Wave Hill’s Winter Workspace, the Bronx Museum’s AIM program, Yaddo, BRICworkspace, Art Omi, Project for Empty Space, LMCC’s Workspace and Bemis. Her work is part of the permanent collection of the Ford Foundation Center for Social Justice. Selected awards and grants include NYFA’s Canadian Women's Artist Award, Canada Council for the Arts’ Explore and Create and Travel Grants, and BRIC’s Colene Brown Art Prize. Jimenez earned a BA from the University of Toronto and an MFA from Parsons the New School for Design. Photo: Lauryn Siegel
