Sophia grew up in Seattle, Washington and currently lives in New York City. Throughout her childhood, she was a feminist before she had the language to really say it. Now, as an adult, the art that she produces is striking, unapologetically sapphic, and groundbreaking. Her work stems from a place of authenticity, including her own body, life, history, and lived experience and aims to create freedom for language and expand the language used around the feminine body. Throughout our conversation, Sophia dives deep into the Cliteracy project and the impact it’s had, along with also discussing how power represents and normalizes itself in the visual. Some Questions I Ask: What is a Clit Rodeo?
