SONIA MORAN
Sonia is an artist and researcher based in Leeds (UK). Her practice amalgamates poetry, song, performance, craft, moving image and sculptural bodies. She creates works that document the transformation of materials, using domestic craft-based practices to explore the rituals of witchcraft and how this can be utilised to form language around trauma. She researches into archival material to dissect the catalytic effects of the European witch trials of the early modern period and how it still echoes today. She uses her practice to give voice to the figures in history that have been left voiceless. Her methodologies include exploring the holes in the archives (the voices of the persecuted were never documented) and using that space to stitch her own account into it- combining the real and imagined. She makes layered narrative works which sit upon the boarder of written, performed and crafted.
