Sophio Medoidze is an artist and filmmaker working across moving image, photography, and text. A first-generation migrant to the UK after the Soviet collapse, her practice explores dislocation, migration, and the malleability of language through fragmentation, repetition, and rupture, challenging legacies of empire from the periphery.
Her debut feature, Let Us Flow (2023), is an experimental, poetic exploration of migration and the effects of late capitalism in the remote Greater Caucasus. Alongside film, she engages in experimental writing and publishing. Her monograph, Bastard Sun (Distanz, 2023), was recognised by the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson.
Medoidze was the 2025 Sainsbury Scholar at the British School at Rome. Her work has been shown at Tate Modern, Kunsthalle Charlottenborg, Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival, European Media Art Festival, Serpentine Galleries and more. www.medoidze.com
