Åsa Sonjasdotter

Åsa Sonjasdotter is an artist and researcher living and working on the island of Ven in Sweden and Berlin in Germany. In her practice, Sonjasdotter enquires into relationalities of crops; their nurturing generosity, the tensions around power, politics, and narratives related to their cultivation, and how social organisations mobilise and form coalitions around their cultivation. She is editor of the English translation of Peace with the earth (Fred med Jorden, 1940, Bonniers), by Elisabeth Tamm and Elin Wägner (2021, Archive Books). Sonjasdotter is the author of the publication Peace with the Earth – Tracing Agricultural Memory, Refiguring Practice (2018, Archive Books). Her 2022 film Cultivating Abundance is distributed by Filmform, Stockholm. Sonjasdotter received her PhD in artistic practice at HDK-Valand, the University of Gothenburg, in 2024. See
