About me

I make visual art and write poetry, and I just got through four years of academic study in social anthropology and environmental social science. I’m going to somehow jam all this stuff together and blog about it.

Earth Wind & Fire wrote a song about my birthday and for some reason I seem to hear it wherever I go these days, which is nice.

Do you remember
the twenty-first night of September?

September 21st is also International Peace Day. Peace to all who celebrate 🕊

I came up with the idea of Adoptee Anthropology around the time I graduated my Bachelor of Arts Degree in 2023 but then I got busy with my Masters Degree which has prompted me to explore the intersections between Disability Justice and Climate Justice.

I have a lot to say on these topics and many others, and I have a lot of art to make and rhymes to write. While I figure out what shape all of this will take and how it connects together I will chuck some of my archive stuff on here.

the archive stuff

The poetry I wrote as Sara without an H (2013-17) has only ever appeared on my Facebook page prior to this, although I did perform my poems extensively on the Spoken Word circuit while I lived in London.

In other words, for copyright purposes there’s lots to identify this work with me and vice versa.

Before that I made multimedia and performance art in Hackney Wick. It would be interesting to reflect back on that time (2008-12) and maybe look at putting together some ethnographic interpretations of the art I made fifteen years ago. I’ll have a think about it.
