Sara Cattin
lives in Turin and works as a cultural operator in a multidisciplinary field. She trained in visual arts at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and developed an independent approach to critical studies at the Dutch Art Institute (NL). Since 2023, she has been curating and coordinating the residency and festival activities of CROSS Project, a foundation supporting contemporary performance and dance, located between Lakes Maggiore and Orta. She is involved in participatory artistic processes through independent projects in the field of visual arts, but also by supporting or collaborating with other artists and organisations. She undertakes research projects that investigate ideas, stories and territories through an imaginative-speculative lens, with a particular focus on rural contexts. She is the founder of ISTERIKA ISTORIKA, a collective and literary sharing platform that interprets feminism through science fiction and related genres, founded in 2020.
