Sophie Kabaka (Soka) is a Rwandan-French writer and visual artist who lives between Lisbon and Kigali. She grew up in Niamey (Niger), moved to France to study Economics, Human Sciences and International Development.

From the world she observes & navigates, she questions how the (neo)colonial gaze spreads into the experience of everyday life: how we learn and unlearn, how we teach, how we express our feelings or even define ourselves in our relationships of all nature.
Using storytelling & visuals, she wants to illustrate the tales she draws from her vivid dreams and reality.

She is inspired by colors, scents, music, shadows impression, and all forms of art. She believes art is about telling stories, expressing our singular perspective and sharing that journey with the viewer in a dance about beauty, reflection, and exploration of the societies we live in. Art is Energy.
