                                Sarah R. Serfati (b. 2004) is an Eora-based artist whose practice considers sites and symbols as platforms to surface patterns of erasure within the context of a colonised and extractive world system. In learning from the displacement and enduring realities, memories, and histories of both local and international sites, Serfati intends to create pathways to reorient, reflect, and resist. 

During her investigations, Serfati engages with archival materials, public records, and conservation documents, adopting an interdisciplinary approach that extends into Serfati’s studio space. Although gliding across digital mediums including 3D modelling, photography, and video media, Serfati also explores impermanent sculptural installations utilising found glass, salt, and sand. These temporary installations centre decolonial methodologies and non-linear, cyclical attitudes to time and space, reflecting on knowledges from peoples of diaspora. 

In 2026, Serfati served as a Co-Director and Chair at Schmick Contemporary while completing her Master of Fine Arts degree at the National Art School.  In 2024, Serfati received the Clitheroe Foundation Scholarship and the Brandon Trakman Prize from the National Art School. 

Serfati’s recent curatorial projects include Proof of Place -  إثبات المكان - இடத்தின் சான்று - ස්ථානය පිළිබඳ සාක්ෂි (2026) and Celebratory (2025) at Schmick Contemporary. She has participated in exhibitions across multiple artist-run and independent spaces, including Substack at Gallery Paiza (2026), Angel Hum at Tiny Gallery (2025), Idol at QHY Space/Join the Dots Gallery (2024) and Sequence at Backspace Gallery (2024).
