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' event happening at CSM in April 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 an Organiser for the 2025 and 2026 CSM PhD Symposiums.

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