Sonia Sobrino Ralston (she/her) is a spatial practitioner and researcher, and currently serves as a Research and Teaching Fellow in Art + Design at the Northeastern College of Media, Art and Design. She is interested in the intersections between landscape, architecture, and the history of technology. Her design and writing projects explore how territories are controlled using environmental media and are in turn responded to by alternative and dissenting systems. Sonia recently graduated with distinction from the Harvard Graduate School of Design with a Master of Landscape Architecture where she was awarded the Landscape Architecture Thesis Prize, the Norman T. Newton Prize, and the Digital Design Prize. She also holds a Master of Architecture from Princeton University where she received a certificate in Media + Modernity and the Suzanne Kolarik Underwood Prize. Beyond this, she has worked as an assistant curator, research assistant, teaching assistant, architectural designer, exhibition designer, data visualizer, publication editor, and graphic designer at various institutions and organizations focused on spatial concerns.
