Sound
Sofia Wrazen (née El Harifi) is a radio broadcaster, DJ, filmmaker and writer based in London and Manchester. Born in Wembley to a Polish Mother and Moroccan Father, her childhood was a hotchpotch of cultures which often found themselves in tension with one another rather than harmony.
Her first film documented her grandmother’s tumultuous journey to Britain as a child refugee whilst her recent projects have focused on imagined futures and grassroots organising. After completing a dissertation on the relationship between sound and emotions, she developed an interest in spatial approaches to music.
