Sarah K. Khan utilizes food to provoke thought about injustice towards people and the planet. A maker and scholar, Khan employs photography, films, video art, printmaking, maps and writing to defy erasure and to build archives, simultaneously. Khan reveals the invisible labor and mastery of the disregarded. To inscribe the denied into global and local multi-visual cultures, she researches and documents the lives of ordinary people who are extraordinary. The subjects and subject matter, real or conjured, are complex individuals dealing with the challenges of their times.
