Dances in the Dark
Gallery 46 Whitechapel

Sarah Lang is a multi-disciplinary artist. She uses film, painting, mixed media, photography, as well as found objects, to create work that express the varied information, outcomes and ideas generated by her research.
For Dances in the Dark Sarah explores the concept of the dark as a place where things can be obscured. Without visual cues and their resulting assumptions and prejudices, people cannot be judged at face value. To know something in the dark you are forced to explore what exists below the surface.
Informed by experiences and stories from Sarah’s life, in particular her Asian childhood, which has coloured her whole life but is not visible in her appearance, the work on show seeks to give a glimpse of who she is, rather than who she appears to be.
Sarah graduated with an MA in Fine Art from City and Guilds London Art School in 2022 and her work was featured as part of 2022/23 Bloomberg New Contemporaries.
