About

Sara Landeau is a multidisciplinary artist working at the intersection of music, contemporary art, and activism. Her practice encompasses multimedia guitar works, sound installations, and experimental instruments, integrating visual art and sound to create immersive experiences.

She is best known as the guitarist for The Julie Ruin (Hardly Art Records) and as a touring guitarist with Bikini Kill, performing internationally with both projects. In addition to producing her own music, she has collaborated with numerous award-winning artists. For 16 years, Landeau also directed a pioneering New York City music school for girls and women, intentionally cultivating the kind of safe, women-led creative space she wished had existed in her youth.

A former CBGB’s employee and longtime New Yorker, Landeau relocated to Los Angeles in 2021, where she co-founded Ampere Studio, a downtown recording and teaching space. Since 2017, she has taught music history at Brooklyn College, and since 2021 has offered online guitar certificate programs through Interlochen School of the Arts. A first-generation college graduate, she is currently pursuing a remote Doctorate in Sonic Arts at the University of Hertfordshire in England.
