Susannah Sayler
Susannah Sayler and her collaborator Edward Morris (Sayler/Morris) work with photography, video, writing, installation and open source projects. Of primary concern are contemporary efforts to develop ecological consciousness and the possibilities for art in support of social movements.
In 2020, they initiated Toolshed, a new platform for collaborative work whose mission is to gather and share tools for a livable future. From 2006 to 2020 they codirected the Canary Project, a studio that produced art and media that deepen public understanding of climate change. Sayler/Morris have been awarded fellowships including the New York Artist Fellowship (2016), the Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship (2014), in addition to the Loeb Fellowship. Their archives are collected by the Nevada Museum of Art / Reno Center for Art and Environment and their work has been exhibited broadly in the U.S. and abroad. They currently teach in the Department of Transmedia at Syracuse University, where they codirect the Canary Lab.
