Faculty Mentor Bio
Sara Jimenez explores the material embodiment of deep transcultural memories. As a Filipinx-Canadian artist, she is interested in materializing narratives around ideas of origins and home, loss and absence. She works in installation, collage, sculpture, and performance, to create visual metaphors that allude to mythical environments and reimagined artifacts. Among other things, she sources familial narratives, marginalized histories, abandoned objects, colonial texts and photos, and textiles. Through material experimentation, she combines and rearranges these elements to complicate pre-existing concepts of place, lineage, and temporality.
Jimenez received her BA from the University of Toronto (2008) and her MFA from Parsons the New School for Design (2013). Selected exhibitions include Morgan Lehman Gallery, Rachel Uffner Gallery, El Museo del Barrio, BRIC Gallery, Cornell University, 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, a full artist fellowship to The Vermont Studio Center, the Bronx Museum’s AIM program, Yaddo, BRICworkspace, Art Omi, Project for Empty Space, LMCC’s Workspace and Bemis. She is the recipient of the Cecily Brown Fellowship and has been listed as Smack Mellon’s “Hot Picks” in both 2018 and 2019. 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 Grants, and BRIC’s Colene Brown Art Prize.
