Amy Sarr

A Senegalese, French and American photographer and director, Amy Sarr moves through the worlds of art, fashion and music, drawn to individuals seen through culture, identity, history, belief and human connection. She studied social sciences at Sciences Po Paris and Columbia University, where anthropological and historical research first shaped her way of looking. In 2024 she completed an MA in photography at the Royal College of Art, receiving the Artful Dodgers Imaging Award for her graduate project So Long a Life, and published her first photobook, Seeking Solitude, previewed at Offprint London at Tate Modern. Her work has been shown at the Dakar Biennale OFF in 2022 and 2024 and at the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair, and is held in the permanent collection of the Musée de la Photographie de Saint-Louis.
