Dr Sabrina Rahman is an art and design historian whose research examines the design of everyday life in Britain, Central and Eastern Europe, and South Asia of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Since 2016 she has been a Lecturer in Art History and Visual Culture at the University of Exeter. She is currently working on a book project entitled Diasporic Designs: Modernism, the Vernacular and Interiors of Migration, 1850s-present, which explores how visual and haptic modes of communication have contributed to notions of local diasporic identity and cosmopolitanism across cultural, geographical and temporal boundaries. Sabrina co-convenes the BAN research group Race, Empire and the Pre-Raphaelites with Kate Nichols and Victoria Osborne. The group’s activities build upon her previous curatorial work at institutions in Austria, the United Kingdom and United States, as well as her commitment to anti-racist and decolonial practices in the public realm.
