Sage Blake Rivers is an interdisciplinary artist based in Sydney, Australia.  Working across moving image, performance, photography, sculpture and painting, her practice examines connection and disconnection, the body, and the politics of identity.  Rivers’ aim is to explore themes of human connection and relationships, vulnerability, strength and memory, with the body often serving as a site of resistance and expression.  Her practice is deeply informed by ongoing conversations surrounding femininity and gender in contemporary culture.

Rivers’ work has been exhibited extensively. In 2023, her durational performance Move 2023, was acquired by the Museum of Art and Culture, Lake Macquarie Cultural Collections, NSW.
