Sarah Abdu Bushra is a Master of Arts student in Global African Studies at The Africa Institute, Global Studies University, specializing in Museum and Critical Heritage Studies. Originally from Ethiopia, Sarah is a curator whose work focuses on visual arts programming, alternative exhibition-making methodologies, and collaborative cultural production. She leads the GOJO Artists Residency, designing programming that emphasizes collectivity, dialogue, and experimental approaches to artistic and intellectual exchange. Her research explores alternative pedagogy, situated knowledge, fugitive spaces, exhibition- and place-making, epistemologies of the South, and institution-building. Sarah’s curatorial practice engages decolonial methodologies, investigating how cultural institutions can traverse multiple ways of knowing, activate collective political imaginaries, and foster socially grounded knowledge production and community engagement.
"I find it invaluable to come together for the sake of knowledge, and this program offers exactly that. Being part of a student body with aligned drives and divergent interests has kindled collaborations I did not anticipate, and a sense of belonging that extends beyond the classroom."
