I live and work on the stolen lands of the Wurundjeri (Woiwurrung) and Boonwurrung people of the Kulin Nation. I acknowledge their unbreakable kinship and connection with land, waterways and community. I pay my respects to Elders past and present. The colonial project is ongoing and continues to disenfranchise First Nations people. Sovereignty was never ceded. Globalise the intifada.
(she/her)
Sara Jajou is a Chaldean-futurist artist who works alongside contemporary histories and ancient futures. Lover of masks, costume and the uncanny, Jajou’s work is concerned with fantastical and mythological expressions of Otherness. Her outcomes include performance art, video projection, textiles, sculpture, installation and writing. She draws from her family history of colonial displacement and offers alternate imaginings of cultural production amidst collective trauma and loss. Sara has recently exhibited with RMIT (2025), Bus Projects (2024) and GalleryGalleryInc (2023).
