a fundamental<br />

preparation for<br />

her career as<br />

visual artist.<br />

“My<br />

background <strong>in</strong> dance allowed me to<br />

study <strong>the</strong> body <strong>in</strong> space, <strong>the</strong> body <strong>in</strong><br />

motion and experiences of <strong>the</strong> body<br />

how <strong>the</strong> body fits <strong>in</strong>to architecture,<br />

<strong>in</strong>to music and <strong>in</strong>to silence,” says<br />

<strong>the</strong> artist. Sarah calls herself a<br />

performance and visual artist. She<br />

studied, choreographed, performed,<br />

and taught jazz, contemporary,<br />

ballet, and tap dance.<br />

The artist has explored <strong>the</strong>mes<br />

of loss, identity, borders, veil<strong>in</strong>g,<br />

migration, <strong>the</strong> experiences of<br />

women of color and those of<br />

<strong>in</strong>dividuals liv<strong>in</strong>g a transnational<br />

existence. Brahim has shown her<br />

The way Brahim worked with<br />

<strong>the</strong> technological framework that<br />

brought her work to <strong>the</strong> viewer, <strong>in</strong><br />

addition to her sensitivity to how<br />

<strong>the</strong> body is used to present ideas,<br />

thoughts and emotion, revealed<br />

a s<strong>in</strong>gular vision of a world that<br />

is both <strong>in</strong>timately and e<strong>the</strong>really<br />

<strong>in</strong>terconnected.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> com<strong>in</strong>g months, Brahim<br />

will show <strong>the</strong> same work at <strong>the</strong><br />

Lyon Biennale, tak<strong>in</strong>g place from<br />

September 14 until December 31,<br />

which was orig<strong>in</strong>ally slated to open<br />

edition, curated this year by duo<br />

Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath, who<br />

fragility. Sarah’s cyanotypes will also<br />
