BIOGRAPHY

Sarah Viguer Cebriá

Paris, France

1986

Sarah Viguer Cebriá lives and works between Marseille (France) and Valencia (Spain). Her research focuses on textile sculpture, body languages, rituals and craft knowledge, eco-designed materials and the anthropology of fiber-art. Notions of gestation, organicity, the formless as figure and subterranean worlds are central themes in her work. Operating at the intersection of different cultural contexts, her works examine mimetic introjection into matter, rootlessness, mythopoetic agentivity and textile bodies.

Throughout her career, she has collaborated with numerous craftswomen to develop production scenarios based on the exploration of local raw materials. She is the founder of the research project Xufa Proceso, a local initiative focused on recovering the ecological residues of xufa agriculture in the Valencian huerta. She is Head of the Textile Art and Design Department at the Ecole Supérieure de Design in Marseille.

Her featured exhibitions include important venues such as Casa Velázquez (Madrid, 2024), Museu Têxtil (São Paulo, 2024), Art-o-rama (Marseille, 2022), Adorno Gallery (London Design Week, 2021), Centro Cultural Fernán Gómez (Madrid Design Festival, 2021), Convento Levat (Marseille, 2021), and Centre National de la Danse (Bienal Émergences, Pantin, 2020). She has also presented her work at institutions such as the Mudac (Lausanne, 2019), Wanted Design Brooklyn (New York, 2017), and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs de Paris (2015), among others.

Her work is part of the collection of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs de Paris and the CID Grand-Hornu, Belgium. In 2023, she won the Wool & Creation Scholarship from Casa Velázquez, Mobilier National and the Society of Authors of Graphic and Plastic Arts (ADAGP).
