biobio
Sara Cattin lives in Turin (IT) and is a multidisciplinary art worker focused on visual and participatory projects in marginal contexts. She trained at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and developed an independent approach to critical studies at the Dutch Art Institute (NL). Since 2023, she’s curating and coordinating CROSS Residence, a programme by Fondazione CROSS ETS for performance and contemporary dance in relation to rural territories and communities, located in between lakes Maggiore and Orta. As tutor and coordinator she also collaborates with Fondazione Pistoletto and Accademia UNIDEE in Biella.
In her practice she tackles long-term research projects that investigate territories from a social, economic and cultural point of view through an imaginative and speculative key. Of this kind, “Maintenance of What?” is a project researcing transhumant pastoralism as a practice and device..., that she desperately carries on since years in different places. Since 2020, she co-curates the transfemnist platform and reading club ISTERIKA ISTORIKA on shi-fi and distopian narratives. In 2024, she collaborated with Almanac Inn, in Turin, on a workshop focused on material storytelling for people with disabilities and neuro divergences.
