About – SarahKKhan

Sarah K. Khan, interdisciplinary maker/scholar, makes art—paper, books, prints, photography, porcelain and films — about food, culture, women and migrants. Her work is informed from fieldwork and research globally. She has researched among Bedouins in Palestine and documented the plight of Indian women farmers. She traverses the worlds of Queens NY, and films women cooks and farmers about their foodways in Fez, Morocco. Her on-going bodies of works—prints, animation and porcelain—are inspired by a 16^th Century Central Indian Cookbook. She studied Middle Eastern history (BA), public health/nutrition (MPH/MS) and traditional ecological knowledge systems/plant sciences in South Asia and China (PhD) (basically Food Studies). A two-time Fulbrighter, Khan earned multiple residencies, grants and fellowships.
