Sofia Isaias-Day
Corvallis High School Corvallis, OR
Sofia Isaias-Day is a senior at Corvallis High School in Corvallis, Oregon. Her art focuses on sculptural pieces of Sephardic Jewish identity and her relationship to observance, femininity, and Mexican culture. Beyond her art interests, Sofia is invested in growing her Jewish knowledge and identity through fellowships including being a Bronfman Fellow, a Hartman Teen Fellow, and a Rising Voices alumni. These fellowship experiences gave a space for her to explore herself – eventually creating an intense Jewish pride and identity that has subsequently impacted her art. She is published in Lilith Magazine in a piece entitled, “Pretty Privilege.”
