Teacher Bio:
Sarah Zanchetta (she/they) is a queer textile artist and educator. Her practice dives into their loss of connection and knowledge of poisonous plants that grow in North America. She seeks to foster a relationship with flora without placing the weight of human benefit in the foreground, questioning what it means to seek out a form of kinship and care with the poisonous. Zanchetta's works simultaneously track the development of her hands-on relationship with an individual plant and the unravelling of stories, scientific facts, and myths surrounding them. She uses textiles, texts, and hosts community workshops to create intimate works and spaces where we can unfold our curiosities, care and anxieties about what grows beside our feet.
Zanchetta's recent exhibitions include 2025 Craft Awards at Craft Ontario (2025), Ghost Body at the plumb (2024), Untapped Artists at the Artist Project (2024) and When our steps crackle and dance to the sound of our stories... at the Post-Invisibles Biennial (2024). They have collaborated with several organizations to create community-based work for their permanent collections, including the Kortright Centre for Conservation and Evergreen Brick Works. Their practice has been supported by grants from the Toronto Arts Council and the Ontario Arts Council. She holds a Master of Visual Studies from the University of Toronto (2023) and a BFA from OCAD University (2018). Zanchetta has taught at the University of Toronto, Art Gallery of Ontario, Harbourfront Centre, McMichael Canadian Art Collection, and various community hubs around Ontario.
