Sophie Seita Artist Talk

Artist-in-residence Sophie Seita spoke with Dot Zhihan Jia (Curator) to discuss their residency project as well as current and upcoming projects.

The London-based artist and researcher works with language as a sensuous, sculptural and sonic material. Translating and moulding language, they produce live performances, publications, objects, scores, sound pieces, drawings and textiles.

This event formed part of Sophie Seita's residency at Studio Voltaire, supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council CHASE Cohort Development Fund and the Art Department at Goldsmiths, University of London
