For many years Sonia has been walking, writing, writing about walking and using walks to write. She has led public and invited walks and walkshops, written academic papers and presented at conferences on walking and writing. She is a member of the Walking Artists Network, the founder of Women Who Walk, and one of the organising committee for the Fourth World Congress of Psychogeography (4WCoP).
Sonia’s limited edition ‘Drift Deck’, a deck of cards for psychogeographers, was created in 2017. She is the creator of #DistanceDrift on Twitter (X), and makes and uses labyrinths for ‘contained’ walking.
