Sarah Rose

Sarah Rose is an artist-geographer based out of Chicago, Illinois. Her work arises out of the urgency of the climate crisis and is informed by local flora handbooks, scientific journals, and her Midwest surroundings. She explores the intertwined environmental and social histories of a site through digital photographs, nineteenth-century photographic processes, satellite imagery, and hand cut collage. Rose has exhibited at Filter Space, Chicago; Weinberg/Newton, Chicago; Sullivan Galleries, Chicago; and the University of New Mexico Sevilleta Field Station, La Joya. As an educator, Rose has been a guest lecturer for Sophomore Seminar courses at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, a visiting artist for a First-Year Experience course at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design and has conducted cyanotype workshops with individuals of all ages. Rose received her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in anthropocene studies from the University of Cambridge.
