Sahra Hersi is an artist and spatial designer who describes her work as “caring about people, places, art & architecture, in that order.” Her work is public and ranges in scale from zines and workshops to public realm interventions and buildings. She seeks to establish a working philosophy driven by the desire to reinterpret architectural methodology and artistic narrative as common ground. Her practice explores shared spaces, the public realm, collaboration, and community engagement, with a strong focus on community building. Her work often arises from engaging with local communities and the places they occupy. Sahra works with local authority clients, cultural institutions, and third sector organisations across the UK and beyond.
