SARAH ZAPATA

Sarah Zapata is a Peruvian-American fabric artist who works in Brooklyn, New York, using weaving, coiling, tufting and latch-hook techniques. Her work addresses labor, power, queerness, and identity. She was born in Corpus Christi, Texas, in 1988. She completed a residency with CALA Alliance in Fall 2023, which led to her solo exhibition 'Beneath the Breath of the Sun' at the ASU Art Museum (February to July 2024). CALA Alliance published a catalogue of that show that includes essays by Zapata. Her exhibition history includes shows at Performance Space New York, el Museo del Barrio, and the New Museum, and residencies at MASS MoCA and Wave Hill.
