Sara Vanore Rewkiewicz

Biography

Sara Vanore Rewkiewicz is a practice-led PhD student at Central Saint Martins, working closely with the university's unique bio arts laboratory called the Grow Lab and photographic 3D Capture Studio. Sara's research considers what non-normative narrative forms and alternative knowledges may emerge from unpredictable and seemingly unintelligible fungus-meets-human encounters.

Sara's artistic practice focuses on transspecies fiction/ing, using hybrid bio-digital methods such as working with personal objects; lab-notes-as-auto/biographical fragments; staging archival fungal forays, as well as photography, photogrammetry, 3D scanning, digital collaging, augmented reality, and electrical signalling to decentre and destabilise the dominant human.

Recent artistic showcases include: 'Beyond My Ken: Gifts for Fungi Companions' for the CSM PhD Play Dead Symposium, 2025; 'In Bed With Pleurotus', a fungi takeover during the Take Up Space queer community exhibition at the Lethaby Window Gallery, 2024; the CSM PhD 'Snapshots: Work-In-Process' exhibition 2023; and part of 'Transreading Interspecies Empathy & Innovative Poetics' in association with artist Camilla Nelson and The Poetry School, 2022. Sara will also be part of the 'Desire Lines—Uprooting' symposium happening in March 2026.

Sara is a member of the UAL Living Systems Lab Research Group, Take Up Space queer collective, Feminist Internet community, and UAL Research Society. She is also co-leader of the UAL More-than-human Post Grad Interest Group and a Playgroup Organiser for the 2025 CSM PhD Symposium.

Her research supervision team is: Heather Barnett (DoS), Andrea Zimmerman, Caterina Albano
