SOFIA MISENHEIMER
Reporting from the edges
I started looking for magic close to home when everything else was closed off. During lockdown, I introduced a radio segment called Sofia Staycations, sharing one hidden gem a week — curiosities, local lore, strange monuments — to help people feel connected to where they were.
​
That early work has become Roam Unknown, an editorial project romanticizing the everyday, supporting independent business and documenting local identity through the kinds of places people may pass without noticing.
​Roam grew from the same conviction as Art/iculation, the award-winning arts and culture magazine I founded to make space for un(der)represented voices — that paying close attention is a form of care, and that the stories people tend to overlook often reveal more than the ones we’re taught to remember.​
