Alessandra Ferrini on Coloniality and Holding Oneself Accountable
Alessandra Ferrini: expanding the archive of coloniality and making oneself accountable
Alessandra Ferrini is a visual artist, researcher, and educator working between the UK and Italy. Her research is concerned with Italian colonial and Fascist history, memory, and heritage. Her work is rooted in lens-based media, postcolonial and critical whiteness studies, and historiographical and archival practices. Ferrini investigates the Italian archive of coloniality and its racial politics, through expanded documentary filmmaking, writing and education projects. She holds a PhD from the University of the Arts London and the outputs of this research - ‘Gaddafi in Rome: Dissecting a Neocolonial Spectacle’ - have been awarded the most prestigious contemporary art prize in Italy, the Maxxi Bvlgari Prize 2022, and have been exhibited at the 60th Venice Biennale curated by Adriano Pedrosa. In this episode we talk about engaging with the Italian history of colonial genocides from the UK; public heritage, fascist legacies and education; thinking about artistic practice through theoretical research; the archive of coloniality and other archives; how to make oneself accountable; and translation as an anticolonial practice.
