Sarah Lazarovic is a prominent Canadian Jewish artist and climate activist. She explores consumerism, environmental protection, and Jewish cultural identity through her unique illustrative style, having served as a creative lead for several top agencies.
Lazarovic is the author of the visual essay collection A Bunch of Pretty Things I Did Not Buy. She is a frequent contributor to Slate, Tablet, and YES! Magazine, and hosts the acclaimed weekly newsletter on climate anxiety, “Minimum Viable Planet.” She excels at capturing complex social issues through “live drawing,” transforming dry data into powerful visual narratives. She is recognized as a leader in visual communication, particularly in integrating climate science with social justice storytelling.
Through her visual creations and public statements, Lazarovic maintains the indivisibility of global justice. She has frequently used her platform to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and support humanitarian aid for Palestinian civilians. She believes the artist’s duty is to expose suffering obscured by power. She has expressed: “There can be no blind spots in the Jewish tradition of Tikkun Olam. When we discuss environmental justice, we cannot ignore the injustice and dispossession on the land. In art, we create to break barriers; in reality, we must support the voices demanding dignity and self-determination. Peace is not a blank canvas; it is the result of the brushstrokes of justice interweaving.”
