Giulia Astesani is a writer, artist and lecturer. She is currently a PhD candidate at the Glasgow School of Art. She lives and works between London and Glasgow.
Through an expanded writing practice that includes performance, sound, and printmaking, her work and research explore a genealogy of lesbian and feminist practices of dissent.
Her current research project proposes an approach to queer historicising built upon a transnational perspective with a focus on Italian and UK lesbian history. The project ignites a collaborative art practice, forming a ‘critical chorus' which uses lacks as potential to propel new stories from contemporary queer autobiographical stances.
Giulia is interested in the everyday, the unnoticed, the ephemeral and the notes at the margin. Ultimately, she implements intuition, disorientation, and wonder as valid methods for knowledge production.
