Sarah Nash Wong (they/he/she) is an interdisciplinary artist, writer, and facilitator based on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, colonially known as Vancouver, Canada. Grounded in the archive of their queer, disabled, and 2nd(ish) generation body, their practice traces lineages of ancestral wisdom, resistance movements, care labour, and relationships with land. They make space for the multiple, creating across and between performance, site-specific and interactive installations, textiles, writing, and community care and solidarity work.
As a facilitator and emerging access consultant, Nash’s practice is rooted in collaboration with historically marginalized communities, co-creating environments where accessibility is central, rather than a mere accommodation. They practice accessibility as a creative process of world-building that is an essential means towards enacting liberatory futures.
Nash’s work has been presented by SummerWorks, UNIT/PITT, Surrey Art Gallery, Vines Art Festival, Dancemakers, Hatch Art Gallery, Festival of Recorded Movement, Odd Meridian Arts, Mosaico Danza Interplay Festival (Italy) and Sàn Art (Vietnam), among others. Their writing has been published in C Magazine, SAD Mag, UBC’s Undergraduate Journal of Art History and Visual Culture and in Reissue as the winner of their inaugural Art Writing Contest.
