SLQS

Roan/m is the coming together of three series of works made by SLQS, some of which were created and inspired by two research periods in Machynlleth over 2021-22.

‘Find.ers.Keep.ers’ sheds light on the threat of bridleways becoming extinguished in the UK. ‘Áo dài’ challenges diversity representation in the British and Welsh landscape. Finally the film ‘Walking Together’ is a meditative walk on horseback exploring our relationships with more-than-humans, specifically equines.

Through a series of performative acts, SLQS questions ideas around rights to roam, land rights and diversity in the equestrian world. As a Franco-Vietnamese artist and urban-dwelling rider living in East London, she immerses herself in the British and Welsh countryside changing the colour of its landscape.

Roan/m is a mixed media exhibition of screenprints, photographs, textile and film by the artist SLQS and curated by Gudrun Filipska from (Arts) Territory Exchange

Sarah Le Quang Sang (SLQS) is a Franco-Vietnamese artist living in the UK. Her work is multi-disciplinary and researches artistic processes to decolonise spatial orders from imperialist, sexist and racist structures. SLQS has presented work at Totally Thames, Spitalfields Music, Rich Mix, Procreate Project, Live Art Development Agency, Royal College of Art, Brunel Museum, Migration Museum, Museum of the Home and Attenborough Art Centre. She is currently a selected member of UKNA New Artist Collective 2022-23 taking place in Lincoln.

Roan/m: Symposium
A symposium to accompany the exhibition Roan/M by Franco-Vietnamese artist SLQS is Organised by Arts Territory Exchange and RAN (Running Arts Network) on June 4th 2023 at MOMA Machynlleth, The Tabernacle, Heol Penrallt, Machynlleth, Wales.
For this Symposium; the Arts Territory Exchange and RAN (Running Arts Network) invite artists, writers and performers for discussions around about ‘other’ bodies in the British and Welsh Landscape and relationships with animals, plants and ‘more than human relations’ which may include interests in proximity, animal perspectives and interspecies hybridity and how these ideas may intersect with rights to roam and land access.
The Arts Territory Exchange (aTE) is an arts-organisation interested in ideas of distance, connectivity and remoteness. Creating a vast global network of connected topographies and reaching to the world’s most isolated places, aTE facilitates collaboration between artists in remote and wilderness locations or for those that feel themselves to be ‘remote’ in other ways, cut off from the networks which usually sustain a practice. aTE also hosts events, bringing together exchange participants and helping them to realise their collaborations in the form of exhibitions, lectures, publications, ‘face to face’ and virtual residencies.
