Giulia Astesani is a writer, artist and educator. 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 employ tactics to enliven and reposition feminist and queer historical evidence in the present, using forms of autobiographical fiction. She closely examines how this evidence might help shape strategies of dissent within contexts for cultural production while proposing creative approaches to disseminating knowledge beyond academia.
Her current PhD research project initiates a collaborative performative practice, forming a ‘critical chorus’ — a temporary and ever-evolving feminist and queer collective body that serves as a pivotal means by which an embodied and affective form of knowledge is articulated and made public.
