Francesca Pionati

Francesca Pionati is an artist and researcher interested in the relationships between politics, legal systems and the Southern Italian territory. Her work investigates ways in which formal and informal urban architectures and infrastructures retain trauma, as well as strategies of resistance and commoning that emerge in response to institutional violence. During October and November of 2024, Francesca Pionati and Gaia Di Lorenzo participated in a two-month residency at FormaHQ. Throughout the residency, they delved into their shared interest in alternative pedagogies in relation to aesthetic and epistemic practices and investigations, as a tool for social engagement and intervention.
