Sarah Cole is an artist who works across media, in different contexts.
Since 2017, Sarah has worked collaboratively with Annis Joslin, as Cole & Joslin. This work has involved 360 video, and led to a series of new video work and projects with Brighton Women's Centre and Joining Hands, Joining Hearts, a domestic abuse charity in Kent.
Sarah Cole's work involves orchestrating conversations and events as live research into lived experience. She explores the territories of pedagogy, performance and place with a particular interest in models of care.
Sarah is a Senior Lecturer at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London.
