MEMBERS AND ARTISTS

Cristina Lavosi

Cristina Lavosi (Italy, 1993) is a visual artist and researcher. Her practice is committed to a transdisciplinary, politically informed, and transformative approach to storytelling. Mainly in the form of videos and installations, her work employs re-enactment, field research, archives, and interviews. Her practice is concerned with power structures and institutions of violence, investigating state-led imposition of norms of being and living and the criminalisation of precarious groups across lines of race, class and gender.

In the attempt to challenge human-centered narratives, her work also aims at including more-than-human agency into discourses of power relations. She tries to trouble the exclusion, by traditional western philosophy, of non-human animals from agency as political beings, looking at how biopower concerns human life, but all life in general.
