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 ideas of 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. Alongside her practice of researching intersectional histories, she also creates site specific installations that grapple with the legacies of their particular locations.

Jimenez received her BA from the University of Toronto and my MFA from Parsons the New School for Design. 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. 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.
