Sophie McKeand (Spoken Word)

Sophie is a writer of water and earth, of migration and roots. These threads of poetry are woven throughout Sophie’s life in celebration of the kaleidoscopic forces that make up the unnameable essence of being.

After selling/donating/gifting 95% of her belongings in 2017, Sophie now permanently slow-travels across Europe in a self-converted van with her partner and two rescue-hounds. This continual pilgrimage to the land invites a more nomadic, minimalist way of being into life and art, encouraging the exploration of issues such as land ownership, borders, nationalism, consumerism, environmentalism, belonging, transience, technology, the language of the land, and the poetic imagination
