Sarah Zapata

Sarah Zapata is a Peruvian-American textile artist who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

Zapata’s practice explores traditional weaving techniques and traditional coiling and latch-hook methods to create large-scale installational objects that combine art with textile design. She is inspired by her Peruvian heritage, feminist theories, and themes such as work labour, systems of power and control, queer culture, cultural relativism and the intersectionality of identity.
