Born in Wrocław\ , Poland\, to a Polish mother and Zambian father\, she grew up and current ly resides in Liverpool. Her multidisciplinary practice explores the inter nal conflict of being a mixed-race immigrant\, and approaches abstract the mes by envisioning dystopian worlds that combat the traditional sense of i dentity lost during relocation. Her work predominantly utilises oil painti ng and printmaking with textual components to disclose sentiments of a lac k of identity. Inquiring into her refusal of citizenship and the trauma of migrating during early childhood years\, Sandra simultaneously acknowledg es that her multiracial ethnic background is a product of migration. She a ims to bring awareness to her experience without demonising immigration\, holding the oppressors in positions of power accountable for insisting har mful rhetoric within the media.\n\nThe project on display\, Scouse Bird? ( 2024-2025) is a body of work created in response to the anti-immigration r iots of August 2024 in Liverpool and other regions. During this time\, San dra witnessed a bird fall to its death in her garden\, causing great distr ess in sounding like a brick has been thrown at the window. This has devel oped a train of thought in imagining a world where people migrate as birds do\, and the implications that would result in\; likely in chaos like rio ts. Comparing these two narratives through the overlapping theme of trauma \, as well as dual meanings in the artwork titles and the series overarchi ng title (alluding to the personification of the bird as a self-portrait)\ , Sandra is attempting to communicate the questioning of identity and the search for a solution.\n\n--\n\nCuratorial team for this edition:\nFrances ca Fryer\nAmy Dcruze\nSophie Donovan\nOlivia Neill\nJamie Newall\n\n--\n\n Snapshot is a permanent display programme of sequentially changing creativ e outputs. It provides an impression of each participant’s practice loca ted in a liminal space in the School\, where visitors spend only fleeting moments whilst travelling to other spaces or waiting to enter classes.\n\n The project is the result of an ongoing open call to all visiting research ers and practitioners\, staff and students of all levels on all programmes at Liverpool School of Art and Design.\n\nIt presents incomplete\, transi tory views of research-and-practice-in-progress\; a window into a brief mo ment in time of a given academic year. The displays are selected based on aesthetic criteria of how to best animate the space they occupy\, projecti ng forwards in time the potential each work holds.\n\nAs the year progress es a living archive will develop on the concrete pillar next to each pair of vitrines\, providing information about past and current displays.\n\n-- \n\nDeveloped by Dr James Schofield\, Dr Hana Leaper and Dr Christine Eyen e (Exhibition Research Lab)\, and managed by students from the MA Exhibiti on Studies programme.\n\n-- ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artinliverpool.com/wp-content/upload s/2025/03/09-blue.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibitions LOCATION:John Lennon Art and Design Building\, Duckinfield Street\, Liverpo ol\, L3 5RD\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom GEO:53.405426;-2.96999 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Duckinfield Street\, Liverp ool\, L3 5RD\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=John Lennon Art and Design Building:geo:53.405426,-2.96999 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20241027T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20250330T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
