Sara Rodrigues is an interdisciplinary artist working in audiovisual composition, performance, installation and public intervention, with an immersive research-led practice often materialises in context-specific and collaborative projects. Exploring the interconnectedness of humans with their ecosystems, both micro and macro, the work examines how life forms become shaped by power and control and envisions alternative forms of life-making; of co-liveability and regeneration. By engaging with the various senses and often calling for participation, the work aims to create forms of affect within and effect beyond it.

Landra is the name given to the land and practice of Sara Rodrigues and Rodrigo B. Camacho, paying tribute to acorns, called Landras in the Iberian Northwest. The duo sees in acorns a culture of autonomy, sovereignty and auto-sufficiency that they aim to revive, aligning themselves with a practice of living and making in attunement with natural rhythms and cycles.
