ABOUT

Sarah Rohani Drepaul is a queer, Indo-Caribbean visual artist. She merges poetry and filmmaking to rethink sexuality, spirituality and how memory resides in the body. Her provocative and visceral style intends to challenge shame, subvert gender and evoke mysticism in the mundane. Through her multidisciplinary practice, Sarah works to build trust with the images in our sublime as sacred and accessible knowledge, often interrogating and queering the notions behind archival as the truth. 

She is driven by the healing capabilities of art — and how vulnerability is essential for our collective liberation. Sarah holds a dual BA in Film Production and English Literature from Drexel University and a documentary directing certification from Escuela Internacional de Cine y TV in Havana, Cuba. 

Her work has been supported by and shown at the King Manor Museum (NYC), Queer Women of Color Film Festival (San Francisco, CA), Chaya’s Chatpati Mela (Queens, NY), Blackstar (PHILLY), TWELVE GATES ARTS (PHILLY) and more. She is a 2023 VelvetPark Writer-In-Residence and a  2024 Cinephilia Productions Development Fellow. She is currently a freelance film producer and intimacy coordinator based in Queens, New York.
