Sophie Allerding

Sophie Allerding (she/they) is an interdisciplinary artist interested in how narratives shape reality, who gets to tell them, and who or what is excluded from dominant (hi)stories. Their practice centers on play and speculative storytelling as tools for imagining just and desirable futures. Sophie’s work bridges visual art and social practice, often taking the form of interactive installations, audiovisual works, participatory experiences, and LARPs that invite audiences to step into alternative realities. Sophie's fictional worlds serve as critical tools for reimagining our relationships with each other, with our environment, and with the systems of power that surround us. In doing so, Sophie aims to open space for marginalized ways of knowing while nurturing new forms of connection and care.
