April 6, 2026
Speaking with Sarah von Sydow highlights the detours and long-term commitment often required for an artist to find their footing. "I took a significant detour to rebuild my life in Sweden: learning the language, figuring out how to pay the bills while sustaining a practice," she says, now enjoying the spotlight in an exhibition where her work intersects with the overlooked Gudrun Key-Åberg, creating a full-circle moment.
