Sondra

Sondra Perry is an American visual artist. She is an interdisciplinary artist who works with video, computer-based media, installation, and performance. Perry's work investigates "blackness, black femininity, African American heritage" and the portrayal or representation of black people throughout history, focusing on how blackness influences technology and image making. Perry explores the duality of intelligence and seductiveness in the contexts of black family heritage, black history, and black femininity. "Perry is committed to net neutrality and ideas of collective production and action, using open source software to edit her work and leasing it digitally for use in galleries and classrooms, while also making all her videos available for free online. This principle of open access in Perry's practice aims to privilege black life, to democratize access to art and culture, and to offer a critical platform that differentiates itself from the portrayal of blackness in the media". For Perry, blackness is a technology which creates fissures in systems of surveillance and control and thus creates inefficiency as an opportunity for resistance.

Sondra James (1939 – 2021) was an American sound coordinator and actress.

Sondra was the name of the magical evil aunt in a short story by Jackson Malloy.

There is a character from the wonderful 1965 movie "A Thousand Clowns" credited as Sandra, but she pronounces it Sondra, and so this is how I have always imagined it spelled. She is a beautiful, exuberant woman described by the main character Murray as "a lover of things and of people" and that she should "have all the gratitude" she can that she is "capable of embarrassment and joy" and is "a marathon crier." As a result, I associate this lovely name with that movie and her attributes.

One of the main characters in the novel "An American Tragedy" by Theodor Dreiser is named "Sondra". I always much preferred this name to the far more common "Sandra", it makes you think more of the sun than the sand. It sounds special and pretty. It even looks better written down.

Sondra was the name of the oldest daughter on The Cosby Show.
