Through SASS (Sas Studios), Kraftowitz creates immersive and interdisciplinary works that draw on speculative fiction, ritual, queer embodiment and ecological thinking. Working across performance, installation, film, textiles and social practice, they explore care, reciprocity and collective transformation, creating spaces where alternative ways of relating to one another and the more-than-human world can emerge.
