Sarah Jayne Booth is a multimedia installation artist who examines domesticity, gender inequality, and bodily autonomy through a subversive feminine aesthetic. She is the founder of the r.a.g.e. collective and is on the board of directors at Sample-Studios. Her work incorporates found objects, sound, and video to create new narratives and examine social conflicts. Booth is particularly interested in feminist ideologies and material culture, exploring the female body and human ecology within the context of the home. She sees the home as both a site of constraint and a source of previously taboo imagery. For Beyond Boundaries, Sarah Jane Booth responds to the concept of civilization in a broad sense. She has abstractly considered ideas around 'going electric.' It poses the question: is it undeniably superior to its gasoline-powered cousins when assessing their emissions impact? However, a recent event in California, during one of their heatwaves, led the state to request electric vehicle owners 'not' to charge their vehicles to prevent a significant drain on the state's power grid. The political landscape surrounding climate debates is rapidly evolving, particularly with the ascent of new nationalist populism across the US and Europe. Neoliberalism, as Booth perceives it, attributes the production of carbon emissions to the individual consumer while choosing to overlook the socioeconomic factors that foster climate inequality, especially among minority groups. This approach has culminated in environmental degradation and wealth inequality, undermining the potential for collective action. Booth believes that climate change is a global phenomenon that will affect all people. However, she discerns that its effects are intricately influenced by persistent and deeply rooted gender inequality. These multifaceted factors and more lead to the conclusion that as climate change intensifies, women will be disproportionately affected, with gender-based violence and exploitation on the rise as resources dwindle and land becomes increasingly uninhabitable due to the intensifying effects of climate change. To tackle these complex issues, Booth advocates for a multifaceted approach involving education, policy reforms, international cooperation, and grassroots movements. By nurturing empathy, championing sustainable practices, and advocating for social and environmental justice, she believes that society can progress towards a more inclusive and equitable future for all. Sarah Jayne Booth is a multi-media installation artist with an MA Art in Process from MTU in 2014. Consistent themes across her practice include a feminist perspective of concepts that draw from gender-based, normalised, systemic oppressive structures within state institutions. Sarah Jayne’s experimental and multidisciplinary praxis expands on these topics in new work, shaping insights into violence, climate, and justice and analyses how it’s connected to, and embedded in these patriarchal structures.Recent Arts Council and Cork City Council bursaries supported the making and exhibiting of 3 significant series of works, (for) All Our Grievous Doings [Bones in the Attic, Hugh Lane Gallery, 2022], This will not be Pretty [acquired for the Arts Council Collection in 2022], and It’s Still Not Pretty. The latter comprised of a solo exhibition in Triskel Arts Centre and Cork City Council Atrium in 2021, which launched an international awareness campaign for ’16 Days of Action Against Gender-based Violence’. These recent projects fostered an ongoing discourse between her practice and OSS Cork Domestic Violence Centre, Cuanlee Refuge and a feminist collective r.a.g.e. (realising•absolute•gender•equality) that she founded with Dr Eve Olney, Dr Honor Tuohy and Fíona Ní Léíme in 2020. Recent zine publications are available on weragetogether.com
