Lou Lou Sainsbury (b. 1994) is an artist working across film, live performance, poetry, drawing, sculpture and textiles. She identifies as a time traveler, making things that unwrite histories of living beings into tricksterish dreamscapes, exploring queer activisms, community and ecological entanglement. She often works in collaboration, developing intimate long term research-led projects guided by improvisation, cinematic processes and sonic thinking.
Sainsbury's work questions how we can become better listeners, exploring transfeminine experience as a social process of finding resonance and dissonance within the brokenness of human and more-than-human worlds. Rooted in friendships and everyday life, haunted and heartfelt, or humorous and uncompromising, her work seeks to imagine transformative stories for more liberated futures. She received her MA in Art Praxis from the Dutch Art Institute in 2021 and her BA in Moving Image at the University of Brighton in 2016. She was previously an associate artist at Open School East in 2017.
