Sophie Strobele has been working as a model in the fashion industry for more than 18 years. This field of work allowed her to sustain an extensive network and allowed her precious insights into a diversity of cultures and livelihoods. Coming from a family of performing artists, her interests stretch beyond theatre and performance. With a great appreciation for the natural world, Sophie co-founded ERE Collective a philanthropic organization and endowment fund connecting the creative industry with non-profits in social and environmental endeavours.
Directing artistic projects through this Collective have led her to build and curate Sheriff Gallery, together with the post-production company Sheriff Projects. Through this opportunity she has built group shows with over 100 participating artists to raise funds for a multitude of nonprofits. Sophie Strobele continues to reunite artists, creatives and the public around engaging subjects that touch the most pressing environmental and social matters of today. Her work as independent curator led her to exhibit at a variety of art institutions, such as Fondation Fiminco, 3537 (DSM Paris), Palais de Tokyo and the V+A in London.
The curatorial work centers on fostering collaborative projects within a global artistic community, exploring themes of generative ecology and cross-cultural diaspora.
In memory of her grandmother Charlotte Strobele, she recently started Casa Carlotta, a creative residency in the North of Italy.
