Rogue Studios 30@30 #9 Sophy King

Welcome to this special edition of The Grateful Web: Rogue Studios 30@30 celebrating 30 years of Rogue Artists’ Studios in Manchester. On todays episode I am delighted to be joined by multidisciplinary artist Sophy King. Sophy’s work explores the nature–culture continuum through deep engagement with place. Working across installation, film, and sound, her practice interrogates how we experience and relate to the world around us. Rooted in the contexts of the Anthropocene and Planthroposcene, her work engages with ideas of Deep Time and Vibrant Matter, examining ecological systems and phenomena in the face of the climate crisis. Her  research has focused on the moors and lowlands around Manchester, investigating their social, economic, and ecological dynamics while probing our entangled relationship with the environment and exploring possibilities for urban rewilding and alternative sustainable futures.She’s also one half of The Guardians of Living Matter, her ongoing collaboration with artist John-Paul Brown, with a major exhibition opening at The Lowry in Salford in January 2026. https://www.sophyking.com/about @sophykingart  We look forward to seeing you for Open Studios at 2–6 Barrass Street, Openshaw, Manchester M11 1PU on Saturday 20th September from 12–8pmListen to the podcasts @the_grateful_web on ACAST, Spotify and Apple music or wherever you get your podcasts.
