Lodovica Guarnieri
Curator, public programme
Venetian researcher, designer and curator whose work draws upon the entanglements between ecology and modern infrastructures. Her practice grapples with technoscience as it relates to extractivism, chemical exposure, colonialism, and the toxic afterlives of the petrochemical industry in water ecologies. Through commission-based projects and curatorial work, Lodovica has gained seven years experience on curating projects, public programmes and networks that engage with the local communities and the physical and ontologic relations between humans and non-humans that shape the landscape.
