Sofa Issues Spring 2025

Letter from the Editors

---

Who do you look to in sticky situations? As we bump into dilemmas both mundane and monumental, we are fortunate to have so many in our extended social practice circle who we can turn to for support. 

In this issue we look to Social Practice alumni, faculty, and peers in similar fields to find new perspectives and understanding, a seasoned radio host on the power of the local, a first grade teacher and painter who’s discovering new ways art can be present in everyday life, and a curator about the importance of centering care in arts institutions while chopping vegetables for a museum meal. Inside these conversations we find comfort, connection, and a way through that we might not have seen as possible previously. We hope you find some guidance in these pages too.

Your Editors,

Nina, Lou, Clara, Sarah, Dom, Gwen & Adela
