About the Curators:

Sara David (b.1998) is an Artist, Filmmaker and Associate Lecturer based in London. She works across experimental film and a socially engaged practice, using multi-sensory installations that allow audiences to participate actively in her works. Sara has recently been supported by the BFI for the AHRC-funded NHS Untold Stories Project to make the film Khichdi. The film will premiere at the Being Human Festival in November 2023 and go into the NHS on Film Archive on the BFI Player. In 2022, Sara was commissioned by Arts Council England and the Museum of London to make To Drummond Street with Love, a short film that was integrated into community programming for Camden residents by Camden People’s Theatre. She has been invited for talks across the BBC, the Barbican, Dark Yellow Dot and UAL.
