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.
