Sophie Mak-Schram is an artist based in Wales whose practice spans artistic practice, art historical research and radical pedagogies. They engage others in place-specific work around power, collectivity, knowledges and futures, and shared processes of longing and belonging. Sophie draws on personal and shared experiences of cultural difference, coloniality, race and gender.
Often using the metaphor of the 'tool' - as a poetic and practical object - Sophie works with collaborators to make tools that can shift power, gather groups and offer ways of being in relation (to each other, to place, to institutions) differently. Sophie is currently Lecturer in Fine Art at Cardiff Metropolitan University and Civic Fellow at BAK Basecamp for Tactical Imaginaries.
