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 collaborated with Fondazione Pistoletto and Accademia UNIDEE in Biella.
In her practice she tackles research by investigating territories from a social, economic and cultural point of view, developping new ways to look at things through an imaginative and speculative lence. Of this kind, “Maintenance of What?” is a project researcing transhumant pastoralism as a practice and device (hosted by Bulegoa in 2023, Bilbao). In 2025 she worked on a co-shared research, Mondatinanza (CAP24020, Alta Val Seriana) about mountanous communities and human perception concerning climate and environmental clanges. Since 2020, she co-curates the transfemnist platform and reading platform on sci-fi and distopian narratives called ISTERIKA ISTORIKA.
