hello.
Sophie Bonet (b. 1986) is a South Florida–based curator whose practice is deeply informed by her background in social and cultural anthropology. She approaches exhibitions as living ecosystems—responsive spaces shaped by memory, ritual, and transformation. Her transdisciplinary work is research-driven and grounded in the belief that art functions as a site of dialogue, cultural inquiry, and collective imagination.
Bonet has contributed to exhibitions and public programs across leading institutions in the United States and abroad, including the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (CAMH), the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art (MACBA), and the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami (MOCA), where she served as Exhibition Manager for landmark presentations such as Juan Francisco Elso: Por América (in partnership with El Museo del Barrio), Didier William: Nou Kite Tout Sa Dèyè, and Jamea Richmond-Edwards: Ancient Future. Her early research at MACBA focused on the archival documentation and critical interpretation of Espai 13, tracing three decades of artist-led experimentation at the Joan Miró Foundation.
Currently Chief Curator of The Frank C. Ortis Art Gallery in Pembroke Pines, Florida, Bonet leads an ambitious exhibition program centered on accessibility, sensory engagement, and community-rooted storytelling. Curating across disciplines, she explores the intersections of landscape, materiality, ecology, identity, and place through an anthropological and phenomenological lens. Alongside her institutional practice, she maintains an active independent curatorial practice, organizing research-driven exhibitions and collaborations with artists, galleries, and nonprofit art spaces throughout South Florida, including Edge Zones and Fundación Pablo Atchugarry Miami.
Bonet holds degrees in Fine Arts, Art History, and Anthropology. Her current research investigates the intersections of territory, material knowledge, ecology and embodied forms of cultural transmission, examining how contemporary curatorial practice can cultivate new ways of understanding the relationships between people, place, and the more-than-human world. She is a member of IKT – the International Association of Curators of Contemporary Art.
