GLITCH ART AS A PROTEST: Zina Sofer’s multifaceted approach to art and storytelling highlights the importance of representing marginalised voices and preserving forgotten narratives. By using a diverse array of mediums—including analogue photography, traditional darkroom techniques, weaving, photo-books, digital innovations, and AI-generated images—Sofer effectively engages with both personal and collective histories.
Her focus on extensive research not only enriches her work but also ensures that the stories of ordinary individuals are brought to the forefront. This commitment to amplifying overlooked narratives serves as a powerful testament to the resilience of human experiences and the ongoing struggle for visibility in contemporary society. Through her artistry, Sofer invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of identity, memory, and the significance of storytelling in shaping our understanding of the past.
