As an artist-anthropologist, Kyra Sacks (NL, 1989) explores drawing as a method of inquiry in research. She observes and draws 'out there’ in the world, in the midst of reality. The works shown at the Gallery draw inspiration from her field sketches and notes which she gathered over the span of a year during projects in The Gambia, Chile, Austria, Bulgaria, and the Netherlands. A common thread weaving through the disparate settings and stories she studies is the experience and challenge of displacement, as well as the search for rootedness and a sense of belonging. In the drawings Kyra traverses the complex realities she encounters, whilst bringing them together as one story in the intimate exhibition space.
