NICCOLÒ MORONATO
Niccolò Moronato is an artist, namer, researcher, translator and language designer whose practice challenges pre-constructed singular imaginations.
Drawing on training in languages, economics and advertising, they employ video, cartography, collage and drawing to expose linguistic and cultural processes that colonise mind and body. Their work examines how landscape, technology and cultural 'traditions' function as tools of oppression.
In 2022, together with Alice Jasmine Crippa, Moronato began bringing together international artists and the fishing community of the island of Chioggia for a video art festival named Bogiaisso ('vortex'), which has since evolved into a registered charity, operating year-round in a daily practice of cultural mending to expand the local imaginary and tackle environmental and societal transformations.
