sana rao
Hi! Welcome to my corner of the internet.There is no neat way to describe who I am and what I do – but I can tell you what I care about and try to create every day.Connection and care is at the core of everything I do
connection with the self (despite all systems designed for disconnection)
connection with the other (both human and non-human)Sometimes this means I work with ungovernable materials like inks and natural dyes to co-create art works made with great care towards material and natural worlds and other times it means coaching and mentoring folks that find themselves outside the hegemonic systems of care.
