Sofia Kaloterakis (1995) is a poet, artist and holistic practioner based in the Netherlands. She graduated from the RMA program Media Arts and Performance studies at Utrecht University with a thesis on the science-fictional origins of the idea of technological progress.
'I use poetry as a tool to navigate worlds such as the dreamscapes in my first poetry collection 'Drift in Lyrics' or the non-ordinary visions of my upcoming collection. I draw inspiration from science-fiction and its ability to makes us imagine and world-build the future'
Beyond the realm of word, i also give performances and guided meditations using sound healing and vibration to create spaces where people can connect to themselves, nature and the universe.
My work with art and sound merges philosophy, aesthetics and holistic practices. See selecte work listed below.
