Sophie Seita (b. 1987, Germany) is a London-based artist and researcher whose practice is grounded in language and performance but swerves voraciously into other mediums, such as sound, video, textiles, drawing, and installation.

They’ve received grants and awards from Arts Council England, the Canada Council, British Council, DAAD, Creative Scotland, amongst others.
Seita teaches in the Art Department at Goldsmiths, University of London, and recently held the 2023-2024 Werner Düttmann Fellowship at Akademie der Künste, Berlin. Their latest book is Lessons of Decal (87Press, 2023), a collection of experimental art writing and lecture performances.
