From 2019 to 2021, as part of the curatorial team in WIELS, she worked on exhibitions, discursive programs and publications with artists Thao Nguyen Phan, Gabriel Kuri, and the large array of voices who shaped ‘Risquons-Tout’ into a joint venture exploring ‘Risk, Unpredictability and Transgression’. She is also involved in collective curatorial processes with Black Archive and Kinostories. Sofia studied Literature at La Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3, Cultural Studies at KU Leuven and Curatorial Studies at the Fine Arts Academy in Rome. Her practice is rooted in writing and translation.
